How can science support better diplomacy? In this episode, we're joined by Professor Marilyne Andersen, Director-General of GESDA, to explore how anticipatory science diplomacy works: gathering scientists’ foresight, translating breakthroughs into policy and practice, and preparing society for disruptive technologies.

Marilyne shares her insights on GESDA’s Radar of 5–25-year futures, the importance of open science and inclusivity, training for decision‑makers, and the role of art in engaging the public.
