Science Diplomacy. What is it? And in which way does it connect to the subject of your research?

From October 2023 to January 2024, Prof. Dr. Maria Rentetzi is hosting the course “Introduction to Science and Tech Diplomacy: the new geopolitics of technology” at the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg for about 30 participants from different universities. With the financial support of the DAAD project “Science Diplomacy in Active Conflicts”, 3 PhD students from Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv have the opportunity to be engaged in the mentioned course and to carry out research and group projects on topics that are closely related to science diplomacy.

In the spirit of knowledge sharing and collaborative learning, we invite all interested to listen to an open discussion with PhD students who have shared their experiences of implementation science diplomacy in their own research.

The discussion was supported by Ralf Mitschke, a project manager at the FAU Chair of Science, Technology and Gender Studies, who made an important introduction and open remarks to the discussion on science diplomacy.

The following topics were presented during the discussion:

  • The Influence of Science Diplomacy on the Development of Law in a Democratic State

          Anastasiia Pedosenko, Doctoral student at Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv

  • Urban Dynamics: Exploring the Intersection of Social-Power Relations and Science Diplomacy

          Alina Marusenko, Doctoral student at Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv

  • Public-Private Partnership as a Mechanism of Science and Tech Diplomacy

          Iryna Studenets, Doctoral student at Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv

The discussion was moderated by Kateryna Futorianska, coordinator of the DAAD project “Science Diplomacy in Active Conflicts”.
