The report from the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the Royal Society highlights the challenges of science diplomacy in today's contentious geopolitical climate, contrasting it with a more optimistic 2010 outlook. With growing competition between major powers like the US, Europe, and China, and a rising role of industry in scientific discourse, the report advocates for a revised framework for science diplomacy. This is particularly necessary as scientific integrity faces scrutiny and trust in science is compromised by political agendas.
The document updates a report that the two organizations published in 2010, showing a starkly different landscape in international science cooperation amid growing geopolitical tensions.
As industry’s presence in science diplomacy has increased, firms possess resources that can surpass those of many governments, influencing scientific partnerships and agenda.
