Background

Science Policy Incubator Grant on Water Diplomacy

Setting the Research Agenda Science Policy Interface
The Geneva Water Hub's Science Policy Incubator Grant, launched in 2024 with a focus on water diplomacy, aims to bridge the gap between scientific research in the social sciences and policymaking.

The objective of the Science Policy Incubator Grant is to ensure that expertise and experience from scientific research in the social sciences is reaching the audience that would benefit from it, and ultimately that this science can inform sustainable and equitable cooperation over shared resources. The grant is targeted to individual researchers and can be used towards activities such as repackaging research findings for different audiences, preparing training materials, or connecting with the right policy makers and intervening in the right policy arenas.

In 2024, we launched the first edition of the Science Policy Incubator Grant launched, focused on water diplomacy. This first round will give policy-oriented scholars of water diplomacy and hydropolitics an opportunity to bridge their research to policy, and start to build a community of practice on the science-policy interface.
