“…En genel ifade ile bilim diplomatları bilim, teknoloji ve inovasyonla ilgili hususları uluslararası ilişkiler ve uluslararası politika sistemi içinde önemli bir boyut olarak yerleştirmek amacıyla çalışan profesyoneller olarak tanımlanabilir. Uygulama çerçevesi hem uluslararası ortaklıklar kurmak ve uluslarının çıkarlarını etkilemek veya temsil etmek için danışman veya diplomat olarak bazı sorumluluklar alan bilim insanlarını (diplomat bilim insanı) hem de bilim, teknoloji ve inovasyon konularında uzmanlaşmış diplomatları (bilim diplomatı) içerir (Moomaw, 2018). Bunlara ek olarak, profesyonel görevleri bilim ve diplomasi arasında ara buluculuk yapmak, bilim insanları ve diplomatlara destek sağlamak ve liderlik yapmak olan memurlar, konsolosluk personeli, bilim/politika yöneticileri, inovasyon delegeleri, irtibat görevlileri, politika bilimcileri hatta kendi eylemlerini ve kurumsal stratejilerini uygulayan farklı aktörleri de içerir (Melchor, 2020).…”

The concept of science diplomacy, which is located at the nexus of science and foreign policy, has been frequently on the agenda in recent years in parallel with the negative effects of global climate change owing to its potential to provide a common ground for bilateral and multilateral scientific cooperation between states. Since the conceptualization of science diplomacy has been predicated on the Antarctic Treaties Summit, the importance of historical perspective is emphasized in order to address the term more comprehensively in the current studies on its antecedents, dimensions, and application methods. On the other hand, when the scientific polar research of Türkiye is viewed from a historical perspective, it is seen that its interest in polar research dates back to the 2nd International Polar Year, which was organized with the participation of 34 states between 1932 and 1933. In this context, in addition to the official documents in the Presidency of the Republic of Türkiye Directorate of State Archives, the archives of various institutions such as the Turkish State Meteorological Service and the General Directorate of Mapping were scanned by applying the historical research method to shed light on Türkiye's polar science diplomacy process from a holistic perspective. Therefore, this study aims to enhance the polar science diplomacy potential of Türkiye in which scientific polar research has been conducted as a successful case of public diplomacy. The momentum has been further increased following the breakthrough upon the establishment of the Polar Research Application and Research Center (PolReC) within the body of Istanbul Technical University (ITU) in 2017 and gained an institutional framework upon the establishment of the Institute (KARE) within the body of Scientific and Technological Research Council of Türkiye (TUBITAK) in 2019.

“…According to Pisupati (2020), the Covid-19 pandemic has demonstrated the great extent to which countries of the world are interconnected through science, and that we therefore ought to emphasise science diplomacy going forward. Moomaw (2018) proposes that scientists and diplomats need to learn each other's skills in order to collaborate effectively. Ruffini (2018) suggests that when diplomats do not understand the science of, for example, the IPCC reports, science diplomacy faces challenges.…”

This report critically examines the nature of the distinction between traditional inter-state diplomacy and sustainable development diplomacy. It then sets out the institutional changes which are necessary for the achievement of sustainable development diplomacy. Multi-stakeholder partnerships have been identified as a key means of implementation for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Given the increasing centrality of the United States (US)–China relationship in global development cooperation, understanding the modalities of their engagement may provide useful insights into how partnerships may be cultivated and deepened to realise the SDGs. The Covid-19 pandemic and climate change have demonstrated the interconnection of the world, as well as the interconnection of challenges of the world. Sustainable development diplomacy is needed now more than ever to prioritise development strategies of different states and work on common shared challenges. Sustainable development diplomacy can only work when different actors recognise the value of the common goals and are willing to make an effort to accomplish them. Global sustainable development diplomacy requires a stronger policy agenda and greater cohesion. This report explores the idea of sustainable development diplomacy and, through two sectoral case studies, explores the nature, function, and rationale for interactive engagement. The form and structure of multi-actor relationships are a response to complex, trans-border political, social, economic, and environmental challenges which require a more nuanced and varied management approach than narrowly defined state-led development. However, the power dynamics, the modalities, and experiences of engagement that underpin these dynamic relationships, remain understudied, especially with regard to their impact on sustainable development.

“…Because scientists and diplomats have been siloed both educationally and professionally for a long time, it is urgent to bridge the divide between current and future professionals by developing common capacity within specialists in each community (Moomaw, 2018).…”

Science diplomacy is a fast-growing field of research, education, and practice dedicated to better understanding and reinforcing the connections between science, technology, and international affairs to tackle national and global challenges. Interest from early career scientists and young diplomats to learn more and engage at the sciencediplomacy nexus is growing all around the world. However, as a relatively new and multidisciplinary field, we show that science diplomacy has so far been largely taught through extracurricular courses and workshops, often self-organized by university student groups or international scientific organizations, targeting specific disciplinary and geographic audiences. Given this fragmented landscape, we map and categorize current science diplomacy educational offerings in higher education. Despite some coverage of science diplomacy within general science policy programs or courses focused on an issue area (e.g., water diplomacy or environmental diplomacy), a structured foundational course addressing the commonalities of all the scientific and technological issues relevant to international affairs is still lacking. Hence, we first suggest knowledge and key skills scientists and diplomats can learn from each other to bridge the disciplinary divide and engage in science diplomacy scholarship and practice. Building upon it, we then propose cross-cutting, core concepts that can inform the establishment and consolidation of science diplomacy curricula at universities. These aim to be useful to teach science diplomacy to advanced undergraduate and graduate students of all backgrounds and to be adaptable to a wide range of degree programs and disciplines.
