The results found that science diplomacy courses can contribute to the design of better policies because of collaborative work between actors from different areas; furthermore, it contributes to the development of countries in terms of science, technology, and innovation; and it constitutes an ideal scenario for the promotion of interdisciplinary since these courses are not designed specifically for one area of knowledge. Regarding teaching, the importance of approaching the study of science diplomacy from a positive and contextualized approach stands out. Finally, recommended topics include the theory of international relations and foreign policy, and the history of science as a frame of reference for the study of ecosystems of science, technology, and innovation and the development of soft skills.
