Roundtable on Global Science Diplomacy

该奖项支持美国国家科学院实施全球科学外交圆桌会议，在科学和政策的交汇点促进知识的发展，以实现美国在科学外交中的持续领导地位。科学外交已成为科学界和外交政策界讨论的一个关键概念。美国在政府和非政府层面都处于领先地位。不幸的是，近年来，美国国内的一些努力有所减少，特别是随着美国科学促进会科学外交中心的活动和重点减少。当前，许多国家的挑战与全球发展有着内在的联系，而全球挑战需要美国的领导力。科学外交，包括获取知识网络，对于实现目标和维护美国的福利至关重要。圆桌会议寻求加强美国在这一领域的专业知识和领导地位，促进年轻科学家和后代继续这项重要工作，并确保美国与越来越多的科学外交网络进行有益的互动。圆桌会议还提供了一个机会，调查资助机构在科学外交中的作用，特别是与多边和全球网络有关的作用，以及如何最好地利用和加强网络。这也是机构进一步扩大国际影响力的机会，突出他们自己的创新项目，并学习世界各地的其他创新计划。圆桌讨论将被组织起来，以促进NASEM内的专题研讨会等活动以及其他机构将开展的活动、项目和计划。研讨会的主题包括对下一代人才的关注，涉及NASEM职业生涯早期的STEM领导者倡议，新声音；通过与美国政府的讨论确定关键国家内的地区机会；以及评估自1999年国家科学院关于外交政策中的科学报告以来的进展，以规划该领域的未来机会。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award supports the National Academy of Science to implement a Roundtable on Global Science Diplomacy to advance knowledge at the intersection of science and policy with the goal of sustained U.S. leadership in science diplomacy. Science diplomacy has emerged as a critical concept for discussions within the scientific and foreign policy communities. The United States has been a leader both at the governmental and non-governmental levels. In recent years, unfortunately, some efforts within the United States have decreased, especially with the decrease in activity and focus within the AAAS Center for Science Diplomacy. At a time when many national challenges are intrinsically linked to global developments, and global challenges require U.S. leadership science diplomacy, including accessing knowledge networks, is critical to achieving goals and in turn, preserving the welfare of the U.S. The Roundtable seeks to reinforce U.S. expertise and leadership in this space, promote young scientists and future generations to continue this important work, and ensure beneficial U.S. interaction with the growing number of science diplomacy networks.The Roundtable also provides an opportunity to investigate the role of funding agencies in science diplomacy especially as it relates to multilateral and global networks and how best to leverage and strengthen networks. It is also an opportunity for agencies to further their international reach, highlight their own innovative programs, and learn from other innovative initiatives around the world.Roundtable discussions will be structured to catalyze activities such as topical workshops within NASEM as well as activities, projects, and programs to be pursued by others. Workshop topics include a focus on next generation talent, involving NASEM's early-career STEM leader initiative, New Voices; regional opportunities within key countries as identified through discussions with the U.S. government;and assessing progress since the 1999 National Academies report on science in foreign policy to map future opportunities in this space.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
