A Global Network of Science and Technology Advice in Foreign Ministries
This paper is a product of the International Dialogue on Science and Technology Advice in Foreign Ministries (Vienna Dialogue) in October 2016, involving more than twenty nations and several international organisations. The event was a key step to further develop the Foreign Minister Science and Technology Advisor Network (FMSTAN), growing from an initial group of five nations. The Vienna Dialogue was convened by the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, Tufts University, and the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) at the Vienna headquarters of IIASA, bringing together diplomats from foreign ministries to consider the value of evidence for informed decision-making by nations with regard to issues, impacts and resources within, across and beyond national boundaries. The evidence comes from the natural and social sciences with engineering and medicine as well as other areas of technology. By building common interests among nations, science is a tool of diplomacy, promoting cooperation and preventing conflict in our world. Science diplomacy was discussed as an international, interdisciplinary and inclusive process to help balance national interests and common interests in view of urgencies today and across generations in our globally-interconnected civilization

Marine research in the Latitudinal Gradient Project along Victoria Land, Antarctica
Although echinoderms constitute some of the
most conspicuous taxa of the Antarctic benthic communities,
the echinoderm fauna of Terra Nova has not
been described yet. The present study provides the first
species list of echinoids, ophiuroids and asteroids from
Terra Nova Bay (30\u2013500 m depth) and describes the
depth distribution of these species. Preliminary observations
of the summer reproductive condition of some of
the species are also included
ICT for Development: Illusions, Promises, Challenges, and Realizations
