Working groups

The Science Diplomacy Hub hosts 10 Working Groups bringing together researchers, diplomats, policymakers, and other stakeholders around pressing themes in contemporary science diplomacy. The Working Groups meet regularly to exchange perspectives, develop recommendations, and produce outputs that inform policy discussions at the European and international levels.

Mapping

As the project’s mapping work advances, Hub members gain access to a growing evidence base directly through the platform: profiles of science diplomacy actors across Europe and beyond, country and regional fiches, good practices and an AI-assisted tool to explore it all.

Training Materials

The Hub is also where CUSP’s training and capacity-building materials will live as they are developed. A European Competence Framework for science diplomacy, training curricula, and other resources will be available for the community members.
