Strengthening Franco-British Collaborations at King's College London 🇫🇷🤝🇬🇧 Last week, I had the privilege of visiting King's College London (KCL), a leading institution known for its excellence in research, education, and its innovative partnerships 🌍🔬 Our discussions focused on deepening the strong ties between France and the UK, particularly through initiatives such as : - European Alliances : KCL’s active role in the Circle U. (European University Alliance), alongside Université Paris Cité, reflects its commitment to collaboration at the European level. - Bilateral Programs: Long-standing collaborations between KCL and French institutions have yielded impactful projects, such as joint degrees with Sciences Po and Panthéon-Assas université, and research agreements with Sorbonne Université. Recent co-funded activities include precision psychiatry workshops and craniofacial biology research. - Horizon Europe: Exploring strategies to maximize participation and success in Horizon Europe, emphasizing the importance of impactful research and innovation for societal challenges. A special thank you to #TaniaLima and #EleanorSalt for the warm welcome and inspiring conversations. These initiatives demonstrate the incredible potential of Franco-British cooperation to tackle global challenges and foster innovation. 💡 As we look ahead, I’m excited about strengthening these connections and ensuring that science and innovation continue to serve as powerful bridges between our countries. #Collaboration #Research #Innovation #HigherEducation #FranceUK #HorizonEurope Ambassade de France au Royaume-Uni Sébastien Bidaud Natalia Foresti Ambascience UK Florence Ferran France Universités Ministère de l'Europe et des Affaires étrangères Emmanuel Lebrun-Damiens Audrene Eloit Ministère de l'Enseignement supérieur et de la Recherche Donato Giorgi Manuel Bouard David Itier Christophe Dessaux

I was delighted to attend the third annual meeting of the European diasporas in the UK, hosted at the the Portuguese Embassy in London and organized by Portuguese Association of Researchers and Students in the UK (PARSUK). This event brought together the European scientific community and diplomatic representatives to: 🔹 Discuss inter-diaspora relations and how to foster stronger connections. 🔹 Identify priorities for the European scientific community in the UK. 🔹 Explore opportunities to reinforce the role of science diplomacy in addressing global challenges. 🔹 Understand how platforms like CONNECTS-UK can enable cross-border collaboration, knowledge exchange, and innovation. CONNECTS-UK presented its activities after one year of existence, highlighting key milestones: ➡️ Launch Event at Imperial College London ➡️ Networking Event at Coventry University ➡️ Open forum at #Edinburgh on "Democratic backsliding" ➡️ Open forum at #Cardiff on "AI what does it means to society and to you" ➡️ Webinars info ➡️ Report on the Impact of Brexit on Students and Academic Mobility These achievements reflect the power of collective efforts in building stronger scientific networks and promoting cross-border collaborations. Congratulations to the CONNECTS-UK team for these impressive milestones—looking forward to seeing the continued impact of this initiative! It was clear during the meeting that, to fulfill their role effectively, scientific diasporas must develop their own administrative capacity, including: ✔ Legal status to formalize their structure and operations. ✔ Dedicated coordinators to provide operational efficiency. ✔ Active members to ensure dynamic participation and community engagement. ✔ Independent funding sources to guarantee sustainability and autonomy. These elements are key to empowering diasporas to act as effective bridges, fostering collaboration between researchers, institutions, and policymakers while complementing diplomatic efforts. A huge thank you to #PARSUK for organizing this insightful event. Together, we can continue to strengthen the role of science and innovation as drivers of collaboration and progress.
