A new online quarterly, Science & Diplomacy, has been launched by the Center for Science Diplomacy of the American Association for the Advancement of Science [AAAS]. The publication, which contains articles, editorials, letters and perspectives, is hoped will strengthen ties between international relations and science by providing a forum for discussion, and a resource, for stakeholders in the two disciplines. In addition, contributions – in the form of submissions or letters – are being encouraged.

The AAAS is the world’s largest general scientific society, and is more popularly known for its leading journal, Science. The Center for Science Diplomacy is a global leader in their field, and is the only organization which is dedicated to the promotion and support of science diplomacy both in US foreign policy and the scientific community. Science & Diplomacy is sponsored by the Golden Family Foundation.

For more information – and to register for notifications of upcoming issues – please visit the Science & Diplomacy website.
