SUMMARY:Online Diploma Course in Humanitarian Diplomacy
DESCRIPTION:Humanitarian diplomacy is persuading decision makers and opinion leaders to act at all times in the interests of vulnerable people\, and with full respect for fundamental humanitarian principles. \n \nThe rapid expansion of the number of humanitarian actors in recent years\, working for or with governments at all levels and often in complex situations\, makes humanitarian diplomacy increasingly important. \nHumanitarian diplomacy aims to mobilise public and governmental support and resources for humanitarian operations and programmes\, and to facilitate effective partnerships for responding to the needs of vulnerable people. Humanitarian diplomacy includes advocacy\, negotiation\, communication\, formal agreements\, and other measures. It is a field with many players\, including governments\, international organisations\, NGOs\, the private sector\, and individuals. \nThe online diploma course in humanitarian diplomacy is offered by the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) in partnership with DiploFoundation. Course faculty draws on leading experts from around the world\, as resource people and guest lecturers. \n  \nThis course is currently offered in English\, however participants who are more comfortable with French or Spanish will have the option to write and submit some course assignments and the final research paper in either of those languages. \n  \nThe application deadline is 14 January 2019. \n  \nFor more information on studying online and to appy\, please visit Diplo’s courses website or contact admissions@diplomacy.edu. \n

SUMMARY:Embedding science and technology in international relations education and diplomatic training
DESCRIPTION:The AAAS Center for Science Diplomacy and Diplo are co-organising the session ‘Embedding science and technology in international relations education and diplomatic training’ on Saturday February in Washington DC. \nWith the insights\, practice\, and products of science and technology becoming increasingly important to and in international relations and diplomacy\, greater capacity to understand science diplomacy is necessary for both the scientific and the international relations communities. \nThe overall goal of the roundtable is to share and discuss different approaches and models to incorporate science in diplomatic training at all levels\, from undergraduate to professional development and executive education. After hearing initial perspectives from representatives from academia\, foreign and science ministries\, international organisations and scientific societies\, we will go around the table for everyone to react and share their own experiences from their countries\, organisations\, and sectors. \nIn 2017\, the AAAS Center for Science Diplomacy launched the Science Diplomacy Education Network (SciDipEd)\, a platform to bring together educators and students in the U.S. and across the world interested in formal and informal science diplomacy education and training. The Center launched the first ever online course dedicated to science diplomacy in 2017\, now incorporated into the syllabus of several science diplomacy courses worldwide. \nThis session at the 2019 AAAS Annual Meeting\, in partnership with Diplo\, will bring together ministries of foreign affairs\, diplomatic academies\, schools of international relations and multilateral organisations to discuss approaches to incorporating science in diplomatic training. The objectives of the session are: \n\nTo highlight model approaches for science diplomacy education at undergraduate\, graduate\, and professional levels.\nTo share experiences and best practices and promote exchange and networking between key stakeholders and communities of research and training.\nTo introduce curricula\, resources\, case studies and other materials and present upcoming education and training opportunities in science diplomacy.\n\nFor more information\, contact Ms Pavlina Ittelson.
