About the 2025 GESDA Summit

How can scientific collaboration be maintained amid rising geopolitical tensions? What mechanisms can strengthen international cooperation on biodiversity loss, ocean governance, and geoengineering? Can diplomacy prevent an arms race in dual-use technologies? The fifth edition of the Geneva Science and Diplomacy Anticipation Summit will address these questions and more, by serving as an invitation-only platform for dialogue and collaboration among 1,000 scientists, diplomats, policymakers, innovators, executives and citizens.

The summit will take place between 15 and 17 October in Geneva, Switzerland, with dozens of sessions available to watch via livestream.
