The new platform, designed to analyze the intersection of science, technology, and diplomacy, is the result of a partnership between the Office of the Chief Science Adviser of the Government of India (OPSA) and the Observer Research Foundation (ORF).
At a meeting where the potential topics and overall agenda of the initiative were discussed in detail, the Chief Science Adviser of the Government of India, Ajay Kumar Sood, emphasized the fundamental role of science and technology in shaping global policies and diplomatic engagements, especially given the evolving imperatives, options, and opportunities for the South Asian nation.
Participants at the meeting concluded that the platform will focus on key dimensions in an era of strategic autonomy, as well as on the governance of disruptive and emerging technologies, and the management of the changing realities of scientific and technological partnerships in a multipolar world.
