Incentives for academics --- I agree with you Maxime. The issue at the moment why scientist are not interested in politics is that they dont have the time to dedicate for the same with the kind of funding they have. If each of these experts are given training to involve in diplomacy along with providing incentives (not necessarily financial) like recognition, avoiding political influence on their projects, etc- this would go a long way ahead. Also giving them a platform like the WEF, GYA, etc
