what's in a definition? --- Total agreement from our perspective as organisers of the course, Veronica. If we speak of science diplomacy in general, we shouldn't reduce it to either of these perspectives. Obviously, particular instances of science diplomacy will fit one description better than the other. And particular actors will favour a particular definition. For example for Colglazier, the situation after WWII regarding nuclear weapons is the most prominent example, hence, he will favour a particular definition / description of science diplomacy. (Also, 100% agreement that the way we want to focus on SD is much broader than scientific cooperation across borders)
