About this listen

Science and technology play an increasingly important role in the geopolitical arena. Topics such as climate change, nuclear power and space explorations stand at the intersection between science and policy, requiring input from both. Meanwhile scientific collaborations and conferences can be occasions to enhance relationships not only between single scientists, but among nations.

In this episode, historians Maria Diogo and Ana Simoes introduce us to the concept of science diplomacy, touching on its emergence and increasing relevance in global society and explaining why political discussions and international relations can’t be separated from the scientific enterprise.
