Last week, we hosted the 3rd Annual Meeting of the EU Scientific Diasporas in the UK at the Portuguese Embassy in London, as part of CONNECTS-UK. This was my final official UK event as President of the Portuguese Association of Researchers and Students in the UK (PARSUK) and a powerful reminder that "our collective impact depends on engaging beyond our own echo chambers." From pioneering new science diplomacy mechanisms to fostering meaningful bilateral dialogue, we’re taking important steps to ensure our community’s voices remain heard and impactful. Read more about the event and what’s next for EU scientific collaboration. 👇

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.
