The Diplomacy Lab program is open to all IU Bloomington faculty members who are interested in engaging their classes in a collaborative project identified by the State Department. The U.S Department of State identifies projects open to participating universities approximately six months prior to each semester.
IUB Faculty who wish to participate in Diplomacy Lab may submit online bids for a primary and secondary project by the current cycles designated deadline. View the project completion guidelines for more information. Due to the University's four project submission limitation, not all project bids will be guaranteed for submission.
The State Department hosted their inaugural virtual DiploLab Demo Day to showcase exemplary presentations from the Fall 2020 cohort research projects across all participating universities. Student teams presented in a fast-paced “pitch-style” format, and demonstrations were followed by brief discussions between the State Department and faculty leads.
IU Bloomington hosted a virtual Diplomacy Lab Symposium on April 23, 2021. The event gave faculty and students from six IUB DiploLab courses to present their work on a wide variety of topics and showcase the value of collaborating with their partners at the State Department. Explore the multi-disciplinary nature of these projects, see the initiative in action, and learn about successes and outcomes.
