A new study on science diplomacy is presented. The study provides an overview of the latest developments in this area, reflects on the relevant actors and initiatives in Sweden, and outlines a new strategic direction for science diplomacy in Sweden.<\/strong><\/p>\n The Inquiry on Increased Internationalisation of Higher Education Institutions, also known as the Internationalisation Inquiry, highlighted the importance of science diplomacy. In recent years, greater geopolitical tension, increased interfaces between technological developments, the economy, politics, and security and foreign policy interests, as well as the pandemic-induced decrease in international mobility (of for example researchers and students) have placed even greater emphasis on science diplomacy. STINT has therefore identified the need to define and study science diplomacy in the Swedish context and tasked two leading international researchers in the areas, Prof. Stefan Kuhlmann and Dr Ewert Aukes from the University of Twente, with authoring a report that sheds light on the following aspects:<\/p>\n The presentation of the study is followed by a panel discussion including representatives of the Internationalisation Inquiry, the Ministry of Education and Research, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, academia, and the business sector.<\/span><\/p>\n Programme<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n 08.00: Registration<\/p>\n 09.00: Introduction Presentation of the study Panel discussion Q&A<\/p>\n 11.00: Coffee<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=”#000000″ divider_position=”bottom” divider_weight=”4px” _builder_version=”3.19.3″ height=”18px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.13.1″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Prof. Stefan Kuhlmann is Full Professor of Science, Technology and Society and chair of the Department of <\/em>Science, Technology, and Policy Studies (ST\u0259PS)<\/em> at the University of Twente (NL).
