The role of science in international relations

Science improves our understanding of the universe and develops imaginative and innovative solutions to globally shared problems. The exchange of scientific knowledge has a unique role to play in building long-term relationships between the UK and the rest of the world. It encourages a mutual understanding essential for a more peaceful, secure and prosperous world.

What we do

We run a worldwide network for collaboration in science and are also involved in communicating science through projects such as Café Scientifique and our monthly Cubed webzine.
