Abstract

AbstractScience diplomacy is the use of scientific collaboration among nations to build constructive international partnerships to address common problems. It has become an umbrella describing several formal or informal technical, research-based, academic or engineering exchanges. As a country belonging to the group of “Least Developed Countries (LDC)” with the associated financial and technological constraints, Nepal still relies on support from international agencies and countries for national development. With the establishment of a democratic system, Nepal has enhanced its S&T capability through the establishment of academic, research and development organizations and created a critical mass of scientists and technologists. The practice of science diplomacy remains in initial stages, and more efforts are needed to strengthen the science diplomacy capability of diplomatic missions by bringing together the knowledge and expertise of scientists, technologists and diplomats.KeywordsScienceTechnologyDiplomatic missionsInnovationNepalUniversitiesInternational partnerships
