“Geneva Working for the World” – Science Diplomacy
22 April 2026, 18:30 to 20:30
Presentation of the Diplodocus project and roundtable on the theme “AI in Multilateral Diplomacy: The Launch of a New Platform to Anticipate Global Negotiations”.
This event will mark the unveiling of the Diplodocus project, an innovative platform currently being developed by Professors Roland Bouffanais and Didier Wernli of the University of Geneva, with support from the Geneva Science and Diplomacy Anticipator (GESDA).
