In this episode, we will look further into the interplay between science and politics and how this has gained an increasing role within the world of diplomacy. The permeation of “Science Diplomacy” into the political scene can help further science and international cooperation but also necessitates a departure from its usual scientific setting into the (at times) idealistic political arena in order to address pressing political issues.

We are joined by Professor Thomas Henökl, Associate Professor in Public Policy at the University of Agder, and by Professor Mitchell Young, Assistant Professor in the Department of European Studies at the Faculty of Social Sciences of Charles University.
