“…At the diplomatic level, several approaches have been taken by Latin American countries to introduce science, technology, and innovation development into their governmental spheres (9, 13). Panama, for example, was the first Latin American country to formally incorporate science and technology as instruments of their foreign affairs agenda in 2018 (9,13,60,61). Other countries, like Ecuador, Uruguay, Colombia, and Mexico have incorporated attaches within their existing diplomatic missions that oversee specific collaborative projects (9, 13).…”

“…Open science ensures access to scientific knowledge and educational resources, promoting a culture where knowledge access is a right for all. Science diplomacy connects international actors, such as scientists, policymakers, and international organizations, to address global challenges and strengthen scientific capacities (Gittens et al, 2021 ). While the precise definition of science diplomacy has evolved over the last 15 years, these changes have mirrored shifts in global politics.…”

The relevance of science diplomacy and open science in today's world is undeniable. Science diplomacy enables countries to jointly address pressing global challenges, such as climate change, pandemics, and food security. Open science, promoting accessible and transparent research, plays a pivotal role in this context. Nevertheless, the degree of openness is subject to specific circumstances, contingent upon varying factors, including local knowledge and resources. Latin America has not only been at the forefront of pioneering open access strategies, making it an interesting case to study, but it has also shown a tangible interest in using science diplomacy. Our research employs a mixed-methods approach, incorporating a quantitative survey involving 50 organizations and initiatives dedicated to promoting open science in Latin America, along with two qualitative focus group studies. Our primary objective is to assess if and how these entities use science diplomacy to achieve their objectives. Non-policy entities were prioritized due to their institutional stability in the region. We highlight successful strategies and delve into the existing barriers hindering the full implementation of open science principles. Our research aims to enhance collaboration between these organizations and policy and decision-makers by providing a set of recommendations in that direction. By shedding light on the current landscape and dynamics of open science in Latin America, we aspire to focus on science diplomacy, facilitate informed decision-making, and formulate policies that further propel the region along the path of openness, collaboration, and innovation in scientific research.
