thus, it&#8217;s critical to develop strong science diplomacy led by a cooperative &#8220;Team Canada&#8221; approach to maintain access to global scientific opportunities.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Importance of a Team Canada Approach<\/strong>: Canadian success in science diplomacy will rely on collaboration between government, embassies, businesses, and universities;
