Cultural Diplomacy for International Negotiations

As a member of the European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST Action 24169) “Science in Diplomacy Network: implementing multilateral policymaking in intersectoral, cross-disciplinary & strategic domains” (SiDnet), I was invited to serve as a trainer at the Training School titled Frontiers of Science Diplomacy: from Technological Sovereignty to Space Geopolitics, in the era of AI, data governance, hybrid warfare, and neurotechnologies, held in Como, Italy. My presentation emphasized the importance of Cultural Diplomacy in the context of International Negotiations.
