Johns Hopkins Science Diplomacy Summit

Co-founded by Nobel Laureate Professor Peter Agre and Johns Hopkins University alumna Ona Ambrozaite, the Science Diplomacy Summit has quickly become a premier gathering where science meets diplomacy to address the world’s most pressing challenges. As scientific advancement increasingly shapes international relations and policy decisions, bringing together these communities is essential to fostering cooperation across borders and developing evidence-based solutions to shared challenges impacting oceans, artificial intelligence, space exploration, health technology, and beyond.

Mark your calendars for April 13-14, 2026, as the Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg Center’s Science Diplomacy Summit returns for its third year!

Last year’s summit brought together participants from more than 25 countries for engaging discussions on quantum technology advancement, space exploration and governance, sustainable AI development, and climate collaboration across continents.

Registration details and the full program for 2026 will be available in the coming months. Sign up for the Hopkins Bloomberg Center newsletter to be the first to know the latest on this transformative event where global leaders forge evidence-based solutions for our shared future.
