New chapter on the Network of Centers published

by Sofie Schönborn

Dear NoC colleagues, I’m happy to share that our chapter, “The Global Network of Internet and Society Centers: Science Diplomacy in an Era of Technological Disruption,” co-authored with Armando and Urs, has now been published in The Palgrave Handbook of Science Diplomacy. The chapter looks at the Network of Centers as a case study of science diplomacy in the digital age. It reflects on how the NoC has evolved over time, and how academic networks like ours can contribute to international dialogue, policy development, capacity building, and trust-building across regions and disciplines. The chapter is available open access here: https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-032-29473-9_10 Kind regards and greetings from Munich! Sofie
