"The contributions of young people to science diplomacy and volunteering "
This online debate brings together young people, researchers, policymakers, and representatives of European institutions to explore the role of youth in science diplomacy—a field that connects science, international relations, and global challenges. Participants will discuss how young people can contribute to international scientific cooperation, climate diplomacy, technological security, open science, and innovation within the EU.
Detailed Description
The activity consists of three segments:
1. Introductory Panel
Experts in science diplomacy will present:
• what science diplomacy is and why it matters for the EU
• how the EU is developing a European framework for science diplomacy
• examples of youth contributions to international scientific initiatives
2. Moderated Online Youth Debate
Participants will discuss key questions such as:
• How can young people participate in international scientific projects?
• What skills are needed for science diplomacy?
• How can youth influence EU policies in science, innovation, and global challenges?
• How can digital tools and open science increase youth participation?
The debate will take place on an interactive platform (Zoom/Teams) with moderation and audience Q&A.
3. Youth Recommendations for the EU
At the end of the event, participants will jointly formulate a short set of recommendations on:
• strengthening the role of youth in science diplomacy
• involving young people in international research networks
• developing mobility, training, and internship programmes in science diplomacy
The recommendations will be submitted to the European Commission and the European Parliament as a contribution to European Youth Week 2026.
Objectives
• empower young people to engage in science diplomacy
• foster dialogue between youth and decision-makers
