Background

Science Policy Incubator Grant on Water Diplomacy

Setting the Research Agenda Science Policy Interface
The Geneva Water Hub's Science Policy Incubator Grant, launched in 2024 with a focus on water diplomacy, aims to bridge the gap between scientific research in the social sciences and policymaking.

The objective of this grant is to respond to the challenge outlined about: to give policy-oriented scholars of water diplomacy and hydropolitics an opportunity to bridge their research to policy. This might involve scholars repackaging their research for different audiences, preparing training materials, communications plans, or more generally connecting with the right policy makers, and intervening in the right arenas. The objective is to ensure that expertise and experience from scientific research in the social sciences is reaching the audience that would benefit from it, and ultimately that this science can inform sustainable cooperation over shared resources.

In 2024, we launched the first edition of the Science Policy Incubator Grant launched, focused on water diplomacy. This first round will give policy-oriented scholars of water diplomacy and hydropolitics an opportunity to bridge their research to policy, and start to build a community of practice on the science-policy interface.
