Section: Research Policy & Development

The European Union Science Diplomacy Alliance (www.science-diplomacy.eu)
presents this policy brief as a contribution to the ongoing discussion on future
research requirements in the final work programme of Horizon Europe 2025-2027.
When reflecting on research needs to support development of science diplomacy
as a tool for Europe, it is important to acknowledge certain diverse challenges: the
heterogeneity of functions attributed to science diplomacy; the normative or moral
implications associated with the concept; the need to reconcile science diplomacy’s
adherence to Open Science with growing calls for technological sovereignty; and,
finally, the limited anchoring today of science diplomacy in universities, research
centers and diplomatic bodies.
