Catherine Régis, director of H-POD and professor at the Faculty of Law of the University of Montreal, has been awarded a Chair from the Fonds de recherche du Québec (FRQ) dedicated to scientific diplomacy and global governance of artificial intelligence. She will explore three areas:

- Defining what science diplomacy encompasses in the context of AI;

- Understanding how scientific diplomacy can be mobilized as an innovative approach to AI governance;

- Analyzing how AI can, in turn, equip scientific diplomacy actors to achieve their goals.

The Chair draws on a leading interdisciplinary and international network. It has the support of the following international collaborators: Caroline Emmer De Albuquerque Green (University of Oxford, United Kingdom), Virginia Dignum (Umeå University, Sweden), Francois Grey (University of Geneva, Switzerland), Michela Milano (University of Bologna, Italy), Julian Huppert (University of Cambridge – Jesus College, United Kingdom), Juan David Gutiérrez Rodríguez (University of the Andes, Colombia), Thomas Hervé Mboa Nkoudou (University of Yaoundé II, Cameroon), Seydina M. Ndiaye (Cheikh Hamidou Kane Digital University, Senegal), and Norbert Hounkonnou (University of Abomey-Calavi, Benin). In Quebec, it benefits from the expertise of Michel Audet, Yoshua Bengio, Laurence Deschamps-Laporte, Thierry Warin, Jean-François Gagné, and Gaëlle Foucault.

Further information will follow shortly.
