Science Diplomacy Monitor

Science diplomacy is shaped as much by rivalry as by cooperation — the same scientific challenge can bring states together or draw the lines between them. It has become a growing but fragmented field, with no single place to see how it's practiced.

The Science Diplomacy Monitor is that place: a single platform tracking national policy commitments, multilateral programme participation, joint research, events, and news from across the field.

Each tab lets you explore a different part of the field. The Country Profiles page gives a per-country snapshot of policy commitments, programme memberships, publications, and events hosted. National Policies breaks down each country's policy commitments in detail. International Initiatives maps participation in major science programmes and European Research Infrastructure Consortia (ERICs). Joint Publications lets you browse and filter the underlying dataset from 2000 onwards, with an analytics view for trends and country coverage. Events tracks the conferences, treaty negotiations, and intergovernmental gatherings that shape the field. News brings together AI-curated coverage of recent developments from institutional and specialist outlets. Resources combines periodicals in the field (academic journals and magazines), organisations working at the science–diplomacy interface, key international declarations, and training programmes for those looking to advance their knowledge.

Launched in September 2026, this platform aims to cover science diplomacy as broadly as possible across topics and disciplines, with a tagging system that lets you filter by theme. As it grows, more data will be added on specific thematic diplomacies that constitute the field, such as health diplomacy, digital diplomacy, climate diplomacy, and others.
