  • Science, technology and innovation (STI) play an ever increasing role in public policies and international relations. As such, they represent an object of multidisciplinary investigation pertinent to many disciplines in the social sciences and the humanities.

    The module offers an introduction to Science Diplomacy (SD), framing the development of this field of study in the broader context of the social studies of science. Furthermore, the module illustrates the European Union strategy in this policy domain, and presents two case studies about SD in two crucial geopolitical areas: Middle East and Central and Southeastern Europe. The module includes five lectures featuring leading scholars and practitioners from Italy and abroad.

    In accordance with Departmental regulations, attendance of the course grants TAF F credits (CFU) to students enrolled in the University of Trieste. Students must pass a final test to be awarded the credits.
