Diplomacy Lab
Launched in 2013, Diplomacy Lab enables the Department of State to “course-source” research related to foreign policy by harnessing the efforts of students and faculty at universities across the country.
Diplomacy Lab is designed to address two priorities:
1) The Department of State’s determination to engage the American people in the work of diplomacy
2) the imperative to broaden the State Department’s research base in response to a proliferation of complex global challenges.
Students participating in Diplomacy Lab explore real-world challenges identified by the Department and work under the guidance of faculty members who are authorities in their fields. This initiative allows students to contribute directly to the policymaking process while helping the State Department tap into an underutilized reservoir of intellectual capital.
