The Academy of Social Sciences submitted a response to the Science, Innovation and Technology Committee’s Science Diplomacy inquiry.
The inquiry will assess the UK Government’s strategy for international science, the value of international science collaborations, and the benefits of using science to enhance national branding, international influence, and conflict resolution. It will also consider how international science and innovation projects support UK economic growth, how to attract global R&D investment, and the role of science in bolstering the UK’s soft power.
