Scientific diplomacy
A PARSUK não atua sozinha no palco da diplomacia científica, promovendo uma colaboração ativa com as outras associações da diáspora europeia no Reino Unido.
O trabalho que desenvolvemos em diplomacia científica na PARSUK tem muitos paralelos e sinergias com outras organizações da diáspora, tanto Portuguesa no estrangeiro assim como de outras nacionalidades no Reino Unido.
PARSUK does not act alone in the scientific diplomacy, promoting an active collaboration with the other associations of the European diaspora in the United Kingdom.
The work we develop in the scientific diplomacy at PARSUK has various parallels and synergies with other organisations in the diaspora, both portuguese in the foreign as well ass other nationalities in the United Kingdom.
In specific, we have collaborated with various congeners around the world to promote the dialogue between portuguese graduates through GraPE and developing points of interest between graduates from other nationalities in the United Kingdom namely when it comes to Brexit including Spain, Italy, Poland the Netherlands and Finland and through the European Union Delegation in the United Kingdom.
