About the Center
AAAS established its Center for Science Diplomacy on July 15, 2008. The Center is guided by the over-arching goal of using science to build bridges between countries and to promote scientific cooperation as an essential element of foreign policy.
The AAAS Center for Science Diplomacy focuses on three approaches to its core activities:
- Inspirational: Raising the profile of science diplomacy by convening and building a community of stakeholders for science diplomacy activities and initiatives;
- Operational: Initiating exchanges, visits, and bilateral activities to put science diplomacy into action; and
- Intellectual: Creating a foundation of research and analysis to identify and define key issues in science diplomacy and to develop science diplomacy strategies.
In particular, the AAAS Center for Science Diplomacy is interested in identifying opportunites for science diplomacy to serve as a catalyst between socities where official relationships might be limited and to strengthen civil society interactions through partnerships in science and technology.
The Center is grateful for the financial support of the Golden Family Foundation and the Richard Lounsbery Foundation.
