Science Diplomacy in times of War: To what extent should western countries distance themselves from Russian Science?

Eric A Piaget, Luk Van Langenhove, Luc Soete

Research output: Contribution to specialist/vulgarizing publication › Blog › Vulgarizing

Abstract

Science diplomacy has many faces. One of them is viewing scientific collaboration as a possible tool to keep dialogue lines open between states in conflict. The rationale is that scientists speak the same “language”, which can weave cultures together and build trust, irrespective of political animosities between governments. But, as Doubravka Olšáková and Sam Robinson have argued, “Science diplomacy is primarily an instrument for times of peace.” What are the options for science diplomacy in moments of crisis such as the current Russian aggression in Ukraine?
