Geneva Science and Diplomacy Anticipator

GESDA welcomed a Chinese Ministry of Science & Technology delegation in Geneva. The importance of scientific diplomacy in addressing the planet’s major challenges was at the center of the discussions Looking ahead to deeper collaboration and #GESDASummit2026.

What does science diplomacy mean to you? At the #GESDASummit 2025, we asked Professor Ajay Kumar Sood, Principal Scientific Adviser to the Government of India (@PrinSciAdvGoI), this fundamental question. #GESDA #ScienceDiplomacy

Chile participó en la 5ª edición de #GESDA, en el @CERN. A través del #OQI y Science Breakthrough Radar©, herramienta que anticipa avances científicos para alcanzar los #ODS, impulsamos la cooperación internacional en tecnologías cuánticas y reforzamos la #DiplomaciaCientífica.

During his visit in Geneva 🇵🇱 Min. A. @Szeptycki of @MNiSW_GOV__PL delivered a speech at the 2025 #GESDAsummit on the panel of governing the future. The minister also held meetings at the @EPFL_en and @WIPO, exploring further engagement of 🇵🇱 on science and higher education.

UK voices shaping the future of #ScienceDiplomacy at the 5th #GESDASummit in #InternationalGeneva- advancing global collaboration through science. #ScienceDiplomacy #UKInnovation #GESDA

Honoured to have taken part in the panel “Anticipatory Diplomacy for Innovation and Emerging Technologies” at the #GESDASummit with Prof. Sood @PrinSciAdvOff. Excellent exchange on how anticipatory science diplomacy can foster responsible innovation. 🇨🇭🤝🇮🇳

Anticipatory #Science #Diplomacy can foster responsible innovation @SwissMFAStatSec and @PrinSciAdvOff discussed how 🇮🇳 and 🇨🇭 are pioneering new models of diplomacy in global cooperation Innovation must be a tools for human prosperity, not a driver of inequality #GESDASummit

✨ Welcome to the Alumni of the Geneva Science Diplomacy Week! ✨ At the #GESDASummit, alumni from the past four cohorts of the Geneva Science Diplomacy Week came together for a dynamic workshop, reconnecting over the shared experience of our intensive one-week program.

Truly inspiring for Ambassador Lemieux & team to attend #GESDASummit and a wonderful opportunity to exchange with @ignaziocassis. Thank you @GESDAglobal for bringing science and diplomacy together to anticipate and tackle global challenges. Canada 🇨🇦 sees lots of opportunities!

In a talk moderated by Mercedes Ruehl, @FT, @SwissMFAStatSec and Ajay Kumar Sood discussed how frontier technologies are accelerating, and how #Switzerland and #India are pioneering new models of diplomacy that integrate science anticipation with global cooperation.

Today at the #GESDASummit: Anticipatory Diplomacy for Innovation and Emerging Technologies How do anticipatory approaches can help shape innovation early, before risks deepen?

Excited to join the #GESDA Geneva Science & Diplomacy Summit today for a fireside chat on Beyond Human & Machine Intelligence with Herman Cappelen & Ayisha Piotti. What counts as knowledge when machines think beyond our comprehension? How do we trust & govern this new reality?

@PrinSciAdvGoI Prof Ajay Sood shared his thoughts as a panelist at the opening plenary session of @GESDAglobal Summit on session titled “Vision to Action: Strengthening Global Research”. The session was moderated by Ms. Marilyne Andersen, Director General of #GESDA.

#GESDASummit - In a session with @swissinfo_it, Dominique Soguell moderated a talk with @UN_Valovaya, @SwissAmbUN_GVA, Dr Sylvie Briand, & @sami_kanaan on how anticipating scientific breakthroughs can strengthen multilateralism & help intl Geneva prepare for the challenges ahead.

🔬From 15-17 Oct, the @GESDAglobal Summit convenes global leaders to explore how emerging science can inform diplomacy. GESDA is a network institution of the Board and will publish the new edition of the Science Breakthrough Radar, anticipating emerging science topics.

"We are entering a new #Geopolitics of knowledge, one that challenges our ethics, our laws, and even the balance of power" said @ignaziocassis at #GESDASummit. #QuantumComputing , neurotechnology a.o. open new frontiers faster than politics can follow. We need to anticipate!

Today at the #GESDASummit, @ignaziocassis highlighted the work that science and diplomacy do together in facilitating discussions between states when they need to define rules for the use of new technologies.
