Science diplomacy uses science as a crucial tool to support foreign policy objectives. Scientific cooperation improves international relations and has the power to cross borders, communities, societies as it is a way of communicating.
At the International Science Diplomacy Forum the value of science diplomacy and history & development will be explained. Best practices, various international examples and the role of science & technology in the future of TRNC will be discussed. It will bring the world’s leading experts, scientists, academics and policymakers together to deploy and deepen the understanding of science diplomacy. The conference will assess the concrete steps that can be taken regarding the mission of combining science and diplomacy correctly and effectively to promote peace and sustainable development.
“Diplomacy for Science, Science for Diplomacy” is the fundamental principle of the Forum. It is an international interface for linking and facilitating communication between scientists and policymakers around the globe. It draws attention to the problems experienced by many countries and nations in the international arena and seeks possible solutions to these problems through science diplomacy.
The International Science Diplomacy Forum, which will open up new opportunities and possibilities for TRNC, will continue its activities in different areas to establish stronger ties to the world with the linkage between science and technology with the participation of our universities and international academics.
We bring the world’s leading experts, scientists, academics and policy makers together for scientific collaborations among nations to address common problems and to build constructive international partnerships.
