Description du projet
Un nouvel élan pour les capacités de la diplomatie scientifique de l'UE
La politique étrangère de l'UE est confrontée à des défis de plus en plus complexes et pressants. Alors que l'Europe possède des capacités scientifiques remarquables et milite en faveur d'une science ouverte, le potentiel de la science et de la coopération scientifique à relever ces défis reste largement inexploité. Le manque de communication entre les communautés scientifiques et diplomatiques constitue un obstacle de taille. Dans une monde de plus en plus interconnecté, les connaissances scientifiques et les réseaux offrent une solution prometteuse. Dans ce contexte, le projet S4D4C, financé par l'UE, soutient la diplomatie scientifique de l'UE. En encourageant la collaboration entre les experts en politique étrangère et scientifique, les conseillers, les professionnels de la diplomatie scientifique et les institutions de formation diplomatique, le projet ambitionne de développer un cadre de gouvernance, des modules de formation et des recommandations destinés à renforcer les capacités de diplomatie scientifique de l'UE.
Objectif
The challenges for EU foreign policy increase in complexity and urgency. Scientific knowledge and networks contribute to the solution of a number of these challenges. The prospects for these contributions are promising, not least in light of Europe’s scientific capacities and the efforts towards open science, which the European Union is leading. However, the opportunities science and science cooperation offer for European Union foreign policy are underexploited.
While the EU’s foreign policy landscape is now better set up to develop and exploit science diplomacy, the scientific and diplomatic communities often do not communicate with each other. Organising science diplomacy in a multi-level governance system is a challenge, as is dealing with interdependency. There is also no clear model for recruiting and employing science diplomats.
The goal of the S4D4C project is to support current and future EU science diplomacy for the benefit of the Union’s strategic capacities, foreign policy goals and the development of solutions for societal challenges.
In order to achieve this, S4D4C brings together scholars of foreign and science policy, advisors, science diplomacy professionals and diplomatic training institutions. We analyse cases of EU science diplomacy that relate to foreign policy goals, relevant EU-level instruments and important scientific developments. Employing a co-creation approach with stakeholders, we craft a governance framework for science diplomacy. It contains recommendations and models for science diplomacy interfaces, processes and knowledge resources. Furthermore, we develop training modules for current and future science diplomats.
At the end of S4D4C, the EU will have strengthened science diplomacy capacities, which will contribute to its foreign policy goals and commitments. The EU will also be more visibly positioned as a global thought leader in exploiting science and science diplomacy for the benefit of foreign policy and society.
