2 A Science Diplomacy Approach for Belgium?! Royal Library, Brussels, 01/12/2016
3 Welcome our assignment of today = reflect on how to best link science and innovation cooperation with diplomacy and political influence European Commission Moedas: a Science & Innovation policy 'open to the world Mogherini: a Global Strategy for Foreign and Security Policy Challenge: Structure of the Belgian state and the distribution of competencies Reflect now on the if and how of a science diplomacy approach
4 Science diplomacy: three in one Diplomacy for science: Diplomatic activities facilitate scientific activities Science for diplomacy Scientific channels/activities are used for diplomatic purposes Science in diplomacy Scientific advise supports political decision making BUT: difficult balancing act!
5 Today s programme (1) The EU Approach to Science Diplomacy dr. Kostas Glinos, DG Research & Innovation, European Commission Concept and best practices Science and Diplomacy a new dimension in International Relations prof. dr. Pierre-Bruno Ruffini, Université du Havre (FR) The SESAME research infrastructure dr. Zehra Sayers, Sabanci University (TR) Science Diplomacy and International Projects at FECYT dr.

Luk Van Langenhove, Institute for European Studies, Vrije Universiteit Brussel
6 Today s programme (2) Panel discussion Moderator: prof. dr. Caterina Carta, Vesalius College & Vrije Universiteit Brussel Questions: Rationale for Science Diplomacy Strategy for Belgium How to reconcile perspectives of research and diplomacy Roles of different actors Global, regional or bilateral approach? Hindering factors Success factors and best practices Initiatives: who, what,...? Wrap-up prof. dr. Richard Higgot, Institute for European Studies, Vrije Universiteit Brussel Closure Dr. Frank Monteny, Belgian Science Policy Office

10 Science Diplomacy A Brief Excursion into Basic Concepts and Key Issues Pierre-Bruno RUFFINI University of Le Havre A Science Diplomacy Approach for Belgium? Brussels, December 1 st 2016
11 1. Vocabulary 2. Science diplomacy: old wine in new bottles? 3. A quick look at national approaches 4. Is there a European science diplomacy? A Science Diplomacy Approach for Belgium? Brussels, December 1 st 2016
12 1. Vocabulary SCIENCE DIPLOMACY Connecting science and foreign affairs foreign policies geopolitics Bilateral/multilateral levels Science diplomacy should not be confused with international scientific co-operation A Science Diplomacy Approach for Belgium? Brussels, December 1 st 2016
13 A Science Diplomacy Approach for Belgium? Brussels, December 1 st 2016
14 Related concepts Soft power Smart power Public diplomacy Track 2 diplomacy Diplomatie d influence A Science Diplomacy Approach for Belgium? Brussels, December 1 st 2016
15 PEW Research Center Global Attitudes & Trends 2013 Survey A Science Diplomacy Approach for Belgium? Brussels, December 1 st 2016
16 In summary: A country s science diplomacy stands at the intersection of science and foreign policy It refers to all practices in which actions of researchers and of diplomats interact there is no science diplomacy without a direct relation to the interests of governments, in one way or another. But some other practices of researchers are not directly related to a government interest, but contribute to strengthen a country s influence on the world stage ( tacit, silent diplomacy) A Science Diplomacy Approach for Belgium? Brussels, December 1 st 2016
17 2. Science diplomacy: old wine in new bottles? What is not new: History bears witness to longstanding ties between science and foreign policy/diplomacy Great voyages of exploration Colonization Cold War What is new: The 21 st century brought science diplomacy to light as a claimed and assumed approach of a growing number of countries. A Science Diplomacy Approach for Belgium? Brussels, December 1 st 2016
18 Why now? (bilateral level): competition through soft power in the post Cold War period (multilateral level): the rise of concerns about global issues (environment, health, security ) Science diplomacy is an emerging field in public policies as well as in academic studies papers in journals, conferences PhD theses in progress 3 research calls of the European Union etc. A Science Diplomacy Approach for Belgium? Brussels, December 1 st 2016
19 3. A quick look at national approaches Countries differ in different ways: Emphasis put on science in public policy? Pioneering: USA, United Kingdom Official science diplomacy strategy? USA, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Japan Importance of S&T in diplomatic networks? A Science Diplomacy Approach for Belgium? Brussels, December 1 st 2016
20 Geographical coverage of S&T diplomatic networks (Diplomacy for science) Number of foreign countries with at least one fulltime science diplomat: France (50), China (46) US (33), UK (29), Canada (25), Japan (25) Germany, Italy, Switzerland: around 20 A Science Diplomacy Approach for Belgium?

22 4. Is there a European science diplomacy? The EU diplomacy is weak. but the EU s research policy is effective and influential Attraction, cooperation, and influence: these three core principles of science diplomacy are present in EU s research policy A Science Diplomacy Approach for Belgium? Brussels, December 1 st 2016
23 More than 50 countries are engaged in the Bologna (LMD) process The European program "Horizon 2020" associates 15 non-member countries Over 4000 Marie Curie Fellowships have been granted over the past decade to researchers working in 50 countries, representing over 90 nationalities (..) A Science Diplomacy Approach for Belgium? Brussels, December 1 st 2016
24 EU s research policy is also influential within Europe The European Research Area is a driving force of the integration process Cross-border cooperation favors the advent of an integrated European community of scientists EU s research policy acts as a as facilitators to build political Europe Research policy is a tool for promoting the European model inside and outside Europe A good example of Science for Diplomacy A Science Diplomacy Approach for Belgium?

63 V. HALLOIN Dimension 1: SCIENCE IN DIPLOMACY, to inform (foreign) policy objectives with scientific advices Q1: Scientific domains of Belgian researchers Coverage of most scientific areas (including societal challenges) Indicators of scientific excellence: ERC grant holders, Prizes (Francqui, FNRS-FWO, international, ), international visibility (GIEC, Unesco, ) A few examples of fields: virology, migration, economy, neurodegenerative sciences, climate, 4
64 Dimension 1: SCIENCE IN DIPLOMACY, to inform (foreign) policy objectives with scientific advices Q3:A Belgian SAM (Scientific Advisory Mechanism)? Administrative structures for science policy (WBI research and innovation platform, CIS Inter, Scientific Policy Councils, Federal Planning Bureau, ) Lack of scientific dedicated body (such as SAM at EC) or scientific chief advisor (like in UK, Quebec, ) Should it be set-up? YES more transparency and evidence-based decisions How? A light structure A couple of scientists (institutional landscape complicated enough ) In charge of organizing, up on request from governments (and structures dealing with science policy), ad hoc independent committees in a reactive manner and ensuring turn-over in ideas In cooperation with the Academies and the FNRS/FWO With an organic link with the government 5
65 Dimension 2: DIPLOMACY FOR SCIENCE, to facilite international science cooperation International scientific collaboration: imperative to meet global challenges Large research infrastructures : States must agree to build together large research infrastructures (sharing of costs and risks) CERN: an international organisation established by an international treaty but also Science for diplomacy : Cern makes it possible to (re-)establish bridges between separate nations importance of science and international research institutions in uniting nations to pursue a single noble goal 6
