STM welcomes the adoption of the Council Recommendation on a European framework for science diplomacy

On June 1, the Council of the European Union adopted a Recommendation on the first-ever European framework for science diplomacy. 

At a time of increasing geopolitical complexity, the EU’s commitment to strengthening international research collaboration, promoting trust in science, and fostering international cooperation that is open, trusted and secure is both timely and important.

Scholarly publishing plays a critical role in enabling global cooperation, safeguarding the integrity, reliability and traceability of the scientific record, and supporting the responsible use of emerging technologies such as AI in science.

We look forward to engaging with policymakers and partners to help ensure that Europe’s science diplomacy ambitions are underpinned by robust, trusted, and sustainable knowledge systems.
