Science Diplomacy is a key element in international cooperation dealing with the global challenges of 21st Century – be it climate change, global health crises, growing nationalism set against multilateral cooperation, war, migration, or security. By establishing international networks, by facilitating communication or by providing scientific advice for decision-making in foreign policy, science diplomacy contributes to finding solutions.
Academic freedom is a major factor in these international settings – and ensuring it in times of conflicts and political tensions is challenging.
With our guests, we will, among other aspects, talk about
🔴 the role and actual organization of science diplomacy in international academic cooperations and foreign policy
🔴 the possibilities that science diplomacy offers for fostering academic freedom
🔴 the competences necessary for successful science diplomacy
🎤 The panel discussion will feature Dr. Sandra Dahlke (Max Weber Network Eastern Europe), Katrin Kinzelbach (Friedrich-Alexander-University Erlangen-Nürnberg), and Kristin Shi-Kupfer (Trier University), hosted by Anja Wehler-Schoeck (Verlag Der Tagesspiegel)
🎤 Afterwards, we invite you to exchange ideas in lounge corners with the panel guests and more experts. Joining us are: Till Eckert (China Science Investigation, Correctiv), Dr. Tim Flink (Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine, Berlin), Dr. Isabelle Harbrecht (China Competence Training Center, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin), Christiane Wolf Suzuki (Forum Diplomatic Resilience, Berlin University Alliance)
