Climate change, war, water security, energy – these are issues that cross borders and span continents. That’s why science diplomacy is bringing together researchers to help solve problems that politics frequently struggles to address.
During April, we delve into some of the cross-border research projects that are uniting scientists and helping to bridge divides between countries.
We also find out how science diplomacy can help create the conditions for sustainable development to the east and south of the EU, and we follow Commissioner Moedas as he travels to Amman in Jordan to foster research cooperation between the EU and the Middle East.

The EU is teaming up with the US and Canada to make the first ever full map of an ocean floor, and they hope it will help to understand issues like climate change better.
Countries in the Mediterranean need to work together to manage water resources in the face of climate change, according to Professor Ralf Ludwig, who coordinated the EU-funded CLIMB project.
