Building Bridges through AI Multistakeholder Diplomacy: Engaging Practitioners, Academia, Civil Society, and IOs
Making Your Voice Heard
Due to the digital revolution, official diplomats increasingly operate in parallel or together with other foreign policy actors, and professional diplomacy as a whole is becoming overshadowed by the activities of traditionally non-diplomatic actors, such as the public (mediated by social media), academia, civil society, and the private sector.
Our institute is your chance to make your voice heard in the negotiation process. Public diplomacy seeks to build an environment in which diverse voices can be articulated, heard, and empowered to have influence. Through our work, public diplomacy practitioners help to ensure that underrepresented groups participate meaningfully in global policy discussions, stay engaged and informed about decisions and processes that impact them.

Working Together To Strengthen the Research Integrity (RI)
What is research integrity?
RI is the set of rules and values that must govern research activities.
Why do we promote research integrity?
RI allows stakeholders to have trust and confidence in the methods used and the findings in that result. Violation of RI can harm the credibility of the research, undermine public trust in science. It may also affect other researchers and stakeholders who rely on falsified or fabricated results. Additionally, it can harm actors who expose it.
Definition of Misconduct:
Scientific misconduct includs
-
fabrication of data, text, hypothesis, or methods
-
falsification,
-
plagiarism, and
-
other practices
that compromise the integrity of the design, conduct, analysis, reporting, or publication of scientific or research results.
Who can report a case
-
anyone who suspects questionable research practices or research misconduct, or
-
anyone who wishes to be cleared of such suspicions.

Research Value Taxonomy
The Institute routinely monitors research publications on public diplomacy for red flags and evaluates the quality of new scientific papers on public diplomacy using AI-driven tools to safeguard research integrity (RI) —empowering researchers, and civil society to expose when political agendas or ideology distort science and pull it away from evidence.
Evidence First
The Garbage Majority: 95% of academic papers provide no intellectual value. The Institute is launching the Research Value Taxonomy — a new framework to distinguish high-value research from low-value and potentially misleading studies.
The taxonomy classifies research into five tiers:
-
Tier A — Transformative value
Replication, large empirical studies, and evidence syntheses.
-
Tier B — Operational value
Methods, datasets, and evaluations that help organisations act.
-
Tier C — Knowledge building
Descriptive and theoretical research.
-
Tier D — Low contribution
Incremental or underpowered studies.
-
Tier E — Potentially misleading
Advocacy disguised as research, threat inflation, and weak evidence behind strong claims.
We put civil society representatives and researchers at the heart of international relations.
I Want To
We convene researchers, public diplomacy practitioners, and civil society to foster collaboration across sectors to address shared challenges.

Preparing for International Forums, Conferences, Meetings
It's crucial to approach events (conferences, webinars, meetings, etc) with a plan that maps out what we hope to accomplish, how we will manage our time while there, and what steps we will take afterward to capitalize on what we learned.
