‘EU Science Diplomacy beyond 2020’
12-14 December 2018, Madrid
This 1st S4D4C Global Meeting ‘EU Science Diplomacy Beyond 2020’ discussed global challenges from a multidisciplinary approach. It brought onboard the experience of scientists, diplomats, policy-makers, and civil servants who work in the cross-boundary professional field known as science diplomacy, as well as the expertise of scholars who have analysed different case studies to date.
Experts from across the world gave a global approach providing a perspective, not only from countries that are leading the trend in science diplomacy, but also from emerging and developing economies that are taking crucial steps towards establishing a coordinated science diplomacy effort.
- As a direct outcome of this networking meeting, the “Madrid Declaration on Science Diplomacy” was published, signed by a group of high-level experts who contributed to the event. It is the first declaration of its kind to proclaim a common vision of science diplomacy in the future – and still open for new signatories.
