The São Paulo Innovation and Science Diplomacy School (InnSciD SP), launched in 2019 with funding from the FAPESP São Paulo School of Advanced Science program, has grown into a leading international forum for dialogue and cooperation in the fields of science diplomacy and innovation policy. After six successful editions, InnSciD returns in 2025 for its seventh edition, focused on the timely and critical theme: Global Health and Climate Change.

The 2025 edition will explore the complex intersections between global health and climate change through the lens of innovation and science diplomacy. With a dynamic program that includes lectures, debates, and high-level panels featuring renowned international experts, participants will gain key insights into how scientific collaboration and innovation diplomacy can contribute to addressing some of the most pressing challenges of our time.

This year’s program will address a wide range of topics, including the evolution of science diplomacy, anticipatory approaches to health and climate governance, international scientific cooperation, integrated policy responses, and the role of the Global South in shaping inclusive and sustainable science agendas. Special attention will be given to Brazil’s scientific ecosystem, alongside international case studies in environmental diplomacy, science policy, and public health innovation.

InnSciD 2025 is organized by the Institute of Advanced Studies at the University of São Paulo (IEA-USP), in collaboration with CAENI, the Department of Political Science (DCP-FFLCH-USP), and the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI). This year’s edition is supported by institutional partners including Science Arena, Albert Einstein Hospital, the José Luiz Setúbal Foundation, Inova USP, the Brazilian Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation, and the São Paulo State Secretariat for Science, Technology and Innovation.

The InnSciD School Program 2025 is officially part of the São Paulo Innovation District.
