Multilateralism in Crisis: The Role of Science Diplomacy in Turbulent Times 12–14 January 2026 — Campus Biotech, Geneva, Switzerland The University of Geneva, together with its Triangle Azur [...]
The SiDLab is currently seeking a postdoctoral researcher for a one-year position (100%) in a research project led by professors Bouffanais, Schubiger, and Wernli on global governance and gender-based violence. The position is based at ETH Zurich and is [...]
Abstract: Computational sciences offer an unprecedented way to describe, analyze and understand a vast body of new problems and offers new scientific opportunities. Mathematics is often considered as the “grammar of sciences”. Modern computational methods extend the scope of [...]
Abstract:While the study of global governance is moving from a focus on component-dominated to interaction-dominated systems, the present paper reviews development in governance theories from a complexity perspective and discuss how governance systems can be represented in terms of multi-layered [...]

Abstract: From a complexity perspective on governance, multilateral diplomacy is based on interactions between people, ideas, norms, policies and institutions. This article uses a computer-assisted methodology to better understand governance systems as a network of norms. All World Health [...]
The global implications of the US-China competition over technology including advanced semiconductors would be better understood if policymakers, diplomats and other players in the unfolding quarrel used big-data analytics and artificial intelligence to study the complexities and convolutions of [...]
Vast troves of historical data exist on negotiations and responses and agreements. The trick is a means to read it. Digital disinformation, cyberwarfare and AI-driven military campaigns have changed the face of geopolitics and raised the stakes for diplomatic [...]
The increase of computer power and the development of new algorithms is currently pushing the scientific investigation to new frontiers. This is particularly promising in the field of diplomacy where the complexification of international relations calls for new approaches [...]
