TODAY IN HISTORY: December 8, 1953 – Eisenhower’s “Atoms for Peace”

Eisenhower aimed to transform the atom from a symbol of destruction into one of collaboration and research, offering nuclear tools and training worldwide. ☢️✨

A pivotal Cold War shift.

🌻 An International Coalition for Science, Research, and Innovation in Ukraine 🇺🇦 was officially established in Rome on July 11.

🔹 It aims to respond to both urgent needs and long-term priorities of Ukraine’s R&I system. It will promote concrete actions to support Ukrainian scientists, drive reconstruction and modernisation, and reinforce the role of research and innovation in the country’s recovery.

Last week, I interviewed Dr. Brian Leung about #Sciencediplomacy and how US uses science for bilateral relations. We discussed the challenges and strengths of US science and #medical diplomacy.

Final Day of Ministerial Dialogue on Science Diplomacy

The third and final day of the ministerial dialogue featured insightful discussions and seminars among key stakeholders in science diplomacy from around the globe.

Key takeaways from the past three days include the following:

- The concept of science diplomacy varies significantly across different languages, with terms like "diplomatic scientifique" used in French conveying distinct meanings compared to the original English terminology.

- While science diplomacy fosters new knowledge, it also carries a significant responsibility.

- Unexplored territories within the realm of science diplomacy warrant further investigation.

- Mr. du Toit, the South African Deputy Director-General for Science Diplomacy, underscored the importance of researching and safeguarding Indigenous Knowledge.

- A representative from Namibia highlighted the disparities in the adoption of science diplomacy between developed and developing nations.

- The vote of thanks on a concluding day alluded to the potential for conflict among powerful nations, explicitly mentioning the Third World War' and emphasising the urgent need for constructive dialogue.

- Open Science is invariably the newly introduced term following several dialogues about science diplomacy.

- Implementations of frameworks are very challenging. For example, sharing information between diplomats/implementors from two different countries should be done via their foreign affairs departments.

- Pretoria, South Africa, is Africa's science diplomacy capital.

Global Ministerial Dialogue on science diplomacy

As global politics become more complex, science diplomacy helps nations collaborate on global issues like climate change and technology.

A statement by the "Group of Friends" (six national delegations and six NGOs) on Dark and Quiet Skies presented at the ongoing Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space Scientific and Technical Subcommittee is now publicly available.

Conference Room Paper on the Protection of Dark and Quiet Skies for science and society

Many companies and space agencies are building and launching space objects in low Earth orbits (LEO). Their purpose varies from providing communications services, remote sensing services, or low-latency broadband internet access. all beneficial applications of space technology and in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). such as bridging the digital divide. However, the rapid growth of large satellite constellations poses challenges for astronomical research from streaks of reflected sunlight for optical telescopes to increased power potentially swamping faint astronomical signals for radio telescopes. The growth in number of satellites also impacts amateur astronomers, and the general connection between humanity and the night sky, including for Indigenous communities.

Given the unique nature of this topic, no single nation or entity can drive meaningful change without the coordinated action and cooperation of governments, satellite owner-operators or manufacturers, and astronomers from around the world. The United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space is well suited to address the challenge to optical and infrared astronomy and has the appropriate mandate, technical expertise, and processes necessary to achieve results under the five-year Agenda ltem.

Good to see CECAM is holding a meeting on science diplomacy including a representative from SESAME - the shared synchrotron light source in Jordan.

Gestern schon Stephan Frickenhaus vom @awi von der #mosaic Community zugehört. Wenn du in der Arktis auf einer Eisscholle sitzt und hunderte von Terrabyte an Forschungsdaten durch einen 128bit-Stohhalm drücken musst.

Ich finde es auch schön zu hören, dass Wissenschaft auch in Krisenzeiten noch über Grenzen hinweg kommuniziert. Stichwort #ScienceDiplomacy

Ansonsten ist das Thema #nachhaltigkeit mit Beiträgen und Workshops.

Trump and Harris have completely different views on Ukraine, and the outcome of the #USelection will determine whether 🇺🇸 will help rebuild science or shift focus to funding defence technologies.

#CleanWater is everything. My team, TWIN, is applying for a MacArthur Foundation grant. This group was a finalist 5 years ago, and we are working hard on photos, videos, website, data portals, the proposal text, MOUs with partners, budgets, ... so many details to coordinate.
