Geneva Science and Diplomacy Anticipation Summit
In 2023, the geopolitical stakes of science and diplomacy remain top of mind for many of us. With a more challenging environment for collaboration, there is an even greater need to create opportunities for joint action towards a common multilateral agenda.
Anticipation will once again be at the heart of our third Geneva Science and Diplomacy Anticipation Summit, to be held from October 11 to 13.
Under GESDA’s vision of “Using the Future to Build the Present,” the third GESDA Summit will cultivate dialogue on critical future opportunities and risks, complementing the third GESDA Science Breakthrough Radar®, which will be released at the event.

The human right to science takes centre stage in Geneva
GESDA is working on that by forging new collaborative avenues for the science, diplomatic, impact and citizens communities, especially in a world that needs most people to be able to benefit from the advances of science. Complex issues, such as how AI could lead to better health, the policy development on organoids, whether to use geoengineering applications, and the evolution of cyber conflicts are impacting what it means to be human, how we interact with others, and the way we live on the planet.
