DSWB External Webinar: Open Science Diplomacy - Building Cross-Border Data Collaboration

DSWB Open Science and Capacity Building Working Group external webinar on Open Science Diplomacy: Building Cross-Border Data Collaboration.

In this session, Dr Reina Camacho Toro explores the relationship between science diplomacy and open science through a comparative study of Latin America and the African continent. Drawing from research with open science organisations across LATAM, the session examines how non-policy actors like universities, libraries, NGOs, and research networks foster cross-border collaboration, influence policy, and sustain open science initiatives.

The discussion also highlights the importance of trust-building, sustainable infrastructure, community-led collaboration, and locally grounded approaches to creating equitable and resilient research ecosystems across regions.
