Description
This programme explores Anticipatory Science Diplomacy - a new framework that equips leaders to proactively govern emerging scientific and technological breakthroughs in an era of rapid innovation and global uncertainty. Participants will learn how to bridge science, diplomacy, and society to shape global governance frameworks before innovation becomes disruptive.
Designed for diplomats, policymakers, scientists, and private-sector leaders, the course builds interdisciplinary capacity to anticipate, understand, and harness emerging technologies for the collective benefit of humanity rather than division or disruption.
