Friday, June 24, 2016

Last May 12th the Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology (FECYT) attended in Brussels the presentation of a new European project convened by seven European countries and coordinated by the Institute for European Studies (IES) in Brussels: The European Leadership in Cultural, Scientific and Innovation Diplomacy (EL-CSID). The international science coordinator of FECYT at the Embassy of Spain in Germany, Dr. Guillermo Orts, was invited to participate in the roundtable.

During the event, speakers from nine countries presented the objectives and challenges of the new project. They were interested in the support activities that FECYT develops on behalf of the communities of Spanish scientists abroad.
During the discussion, the participants also stressed the need to work both for "science diplomacy" and "diplomacy for science", and remarked that it is crucial the engagement of all stakeholders and European Institutions to disseminate the importance of science diplomacy for social and economic development.

FECYT works to enhance the visibility and international prestige of the Spanish science and Spanish researchers in the global context.
