The EC has launched a call to participate in the science diplomacy working groups intended to develop crucial elements of a future European framework for science diplomacy. Deadline of the call is 31 October 2023.

• The informal working groups of approx. 20 members are planned to be composed of individuals from both, the science and diplomacy communities.
