The London-based Royal Society publishing the world’s oldest scientific journal in continuous publication Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society (since 1665) identified science diplomacy as still a fluid concept that can be applied to the role of science, technology and innovation in three dimensions of policy: Science in diplomacy; Diplomacy for science; Science for diplomacy. In June 2015 the European Commissioner for Research, Science and Innovation Carlos Moedas reiterated the Royal Society’s dimensions of science diplomacy in his speech The EU approach to science diplomacy at the European Institute in Washington.
Terms “diplomacy”, “science” and “art” are marked by variability of interpretations, with the French painter G. Braque pointing at one of possible links between science and art: « L’Art est fait pour trabler, la Science rassure. » (Notebooks: Day and Night, 1952 quoted in PODOLAN, 2014, p. 745); pivotal shift in the perception (of the complexity) of diplomacy is accentuated by editors of The Oxford Handbook of Modern Diplomacy (2013), too.
The University of Economics in Bratislava operating in the European Higher Education Area and the European Research Area celebrated 75th anniversary of its establishment in 2015, in the framework of which the International Scientific Conference for Doctoral Students and Post-Doctoral Scholars EDAMBA 2015 titled “The Era of Science Diplomacy: Implications for Economics, Business, Management and Related Disciplines“ was held on 21 – 23 October 2015 in cooperation with the Business Leaders Forum.

INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH (IDR) is “a mode of
research by teams or individuals that integrates
information, data, techniques, tools, perspectives,
concepts, and/or theories from two or more
disciplines or bodies of specialized knowledge to
advance fundamental understanding or to solve
problems whose solutions are beyond the scope of a
single discipline or field of research practice”.
