China, Science Diplomacy, and the Global South

Open lecture with Dr Han Cheng, Senior Research Scholar, Max Planck Institute for the History of Science.
As part of its Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), China has launched the "Science Silk Road" program, aimed at investing in science, technology and innovation in countries along this newly envisioned Silk Road. Be it Chinese researchers designing data centers in Southeast Asia and smart cities in Africa, or collaborating with Latin American countries on deep-space exploration, the Science Silk Road has led to the rapid emergence of new science infrastructures and networks with complex implications for the South, North and beyond. However, little is currently known about whether, and how, the Science Silk Road shapes research, society, and development in BRI countries and globally. This talk will introduce a new international research project to fill this gap by mapping out the Science Silk Road’s multi-level impacts on BRI countries, established science powers, and international scientific cooperation.
