TWAS is inviting policymakers, diplomats with a science portfolio, as well as a number of young scientists from the developing world, to apply to attend a short course on science diplomacy in June.
 
The course is organized by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) and TWAS and aims to expose participants to some key concepts on the interactions between the scientific and policy-making communities, and to some contemporary international policy issues relating to science, technology, environment and health, while providing an overview of how scientific/technical information has been contributing more and more to policy development and organizational changes worldwide.

The AAAS-TWAS Course on Science and Diplomacy will be held from 8 to 13 June in Trieste, Italy.
