With our partners of the National Science Policy Network (NSPN), we recently co-hosted the first-of-its-kind Space Diplomacy hackathon, where three teams pitched their ideas on how to solve the most urgent space issues. Read a summary about the event.

In this paper, Ambassador (ret.) W. Robert Pearson examines the principles and the methodology of "Anticipatory Diplomacy", an approach to diplomacy seeking "to anticipate issues that will be crises if we don’t act." Amb. Pearson is the founder of the Rethinking Diplomacy Program at Duke University Center for International & Global Studies.

On 6.7.2022, the U.S. Senate Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe—also known as the Helsinki Commission—invited our Rethinking Diplomacy fellow Dr. Benjamin Schmitt to speak about European Energy Security Post-Russia. Schmitt was joined by Yuriy Vitrenko (CEO, Naftogaz Ukraine) and Costanze Stelzenmüller (Senior Fellow, Brookings Institution.)

We partnered with D.C.-based Meridian International for the 2022 Meridian Diplomacy Forum, an annual conference gathering current and future diplomatic leaders from around the world. Read the recap and watch the full panels, this year dedicated to, "Statecraft in the Evolving Frontiers: Ocean, Arctic and Space."
