“…Simultaneously, both formal government and non‐governmental engagements expanded to encompass multi‐track diplomacy by corporations, faith institutions, private citizens, and communication via various modes. In short, technology and science diplomacy are a substantial component of these multiple tracks (Arndt, 2007; Colglazier, 2018; Diamond & McDonald, 1991; Lindsay, 2021a).…”

The author postulates elucidatory central objectives and questions regarding the aforementioned paper title per integrative areas, with special foci on comprehensive doctoral research universities—that concentrate on research, teaching, and public engagement. The following queries are pondered and directed toward innovative technologies and science largely evident within the recent decades, contributing to virtual intellectual migration. (1) What historical and contemporary background conditions and discernments link the salience of this presentation? (2) What are the constructs of international technology and science diplomacy and intellectual migration? (3) What are roles of science and technology diplomacy as observed through formal and informal government and philanthropic initiatives via universities? (4) How are domestic and international universities preparing graduate students and professionals in novel technological manners that develop and engage virtual intellectual migration? (5) Through multifaceted processes, how might the blending of evolutionary technologies be altered and further incorporated within universities (and other organizations) to enhance virtual intellectual migration with an ultimate goal of promoting educational and diplomatic cooperations? This article responds to the queries and concludes by articulating the importance of virtual intellectual migration as can be observed by two foremost statesmen and diplomats—United Nations Secretary‐General Kofi Annan and American Senator J. William Fulbright. They were stalwarts of humankind.

“…The STI solutions can assist in solving problems diplomacy cannot handle (i.e. science leapfrogs diplomacy) (Colglazier, 2016). Contributions from science could include identification of challenges, advice on effective actions, monitoring and search for innovative solutions (Colglazier, 2016).…”

Review and reflection have been made on the evolving discipline of science diplomacy from the point of view of state, pattern and trend in West and Central Africa. While the state is embryonic and implemented consciously or unconsciously, the pattern indicates business is done with friends other than former colonial powers. From the three roles of science diplomacy – science in diplomacy, science for diplomacy and diplomacy for science – West and Central African states have been engaged with the latter. The priority areas involved aimed at creating capacity for science, technology and innovation through education and technology transfer. The players involved included governments, private sectors and individual scientists. Challenges were many but most important was the non-respect of commitments made by partners leading to failure to achieve stated objectives and targets. Suggestions for improvement have been made. Most important among these are transparency, clarity and respect of commitments earlier agreed. To benefit from the three roles of science diplomacy, states of the region need to create adequate critical capacity/mass based on a common vision founded on collective aims. Une revue et une réflexion ont été effectués sur l’évolution de la discipline de la diplomatie scientifique du point de vue de l’état, du modèle et de la tendance en Afrique de l’Ouest et Centrale. Alors que l’état est embryonnaire et mis en œuvre consciemment ou inconsciemment, le modèle indique que les affaires se font avec des amis autres que les anciennes puissances coloniales. Des trois rôles de la diplomatie scientifique - la science dans la diplomatie, la science pour la diplomatie et la diplomatie pour la science - les États d’Afrique de l’Ouest et Centrale ont été engagés avec cette dernière. Les domaines prioritaires concernés visaient à créer des capacités pour la science, la technologie et l’innovation par le biais de l’éducation et du transfert de technologie. Les acteurs impliqués comprenaient les gouvernements, le secteur privé et les scientifiques individuels. Les défis étaient nombreux, mais le plus important était le non-respect des engagements pris par les partenaires, ce qui a conduit à l’échec de la réalisation des objectifs et des cibles fixés. Des suggestions d’amélioration ont été faites. Les plus importantes d’entre elles sont la transparence, la clarté et le respect des engagements pris antérieurement. Pour tirer parti des trois rôles de la diplomatie scientifique, les États de la région doivent créer une capacité/masse critique adéquate fondée sur une vision commune reposant sur des biens communs collectifs.

“…Polejack and global concerns, as well as promote science literacy to decision makers and society, and policy literacy to scientists (Kopke, Black, & Dozier, 2019). By scientifically cooperating, countries can also overcome existing geopolitical tensions by agreeing on common goals or concerns (for a range of examples, please refer to Colglazier, 2018). In the current new post-COVID normal, in which the ocean faces pollution threats and ocean science is being affected, there is a chance to join efforts and cooperatively progress in filling the knowledge gaps with the available research opportunities.…”

This opinion paper highlights the unseen impacts that the current COVID-19 outbreak has posted to ocean sciences, particularly in developing countries. Ocean science diplomacy, i.e. the interplay between ocean science and international affairs, present useful tools to leverage from this new normal and address the need to foster balance between regions in terms of scientific capabilities to unveil the ocean as a public good. The UN Decade of Ocean Science offers a timely framework to advance such discussions.
