Introduction
UNITAR s Executive Summer Programme on Innovations in Science Diplomacy will triangulate education, research and leadership. It will aim to educate the next generation of leaders in the field of science diplomacy and technology; facilitate research with questions and data that generate actions with evidence and options that contribute to informed decision-making; and provide leadership with science-diplomacy networks that build common interests across our globally-interconnected civilization.

BOSTON (CBS) UMass won’t increase tuition for Massachusetts students in the 2021-2022 academic year. The university’s board of trustees approved a plan to freeze tuition and fees for in-state students at UMass Amherst, Boston, Dartmouth and Lowell.

The tree-lined streets of the University of Massachusetts (UMass) and hallowed hallways of Yale University are two places most farmers would not expect to find a hot debate over soil erosion.
And, yet, late this winter, staff at both campuses attacked agricultureâs ongoing failure to protect farmland. Donât worry, no ivory tower was toppled. The standard Midwestern view of soil lossâthat itâs a cost of production like seed or fertilizerâtook a long-overdue hit, though.
The examination began in mid-February when Yale Environment 360, an online magazine published by the universityâs School of Environment, highlighted a December UMass study that showed âmore than a third of farmland in the U.S. Corn Beltââor about 30 million acresââhas completely lost its carbon-rich topsoil due to erosionâ¦â
US universities have cut 650,000 jobs, a 13 percent workforce reduction, since the onset of the pandemic
The Department of Labor published a striking report this month on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on higher education. The report concluded that colleges and universities have cut a total of 650,000 jobs since February 2020, 13 percent of all higher education workers.
