The COVID-19 pandemic showed the need of science diplomacy in different dimensions, ranging from diagnostics, development of vaccines and therapeutics, to capacity building and international cooperation. However, disparities and inequities were augmented worldwide, leading to the question if societies are still on track to meet the agenda 2030. What are the lessons we learned from the start of the pandemic as we adapted to the “new normal”? Which tools for bridging nations through science and education are here to stay? We will learn from global experiences about the adaptation to COVID-19 pandemic in different disciplines as we explore how science diplomacy should continue in the spotlight in post recovery efforts in different areas of knowledge. The experiences from the speakers will invite reflection on how to take our adaptative response as countries to move forward beyond this current pandemic.
