Proposals are encouraged in key areas of cooperation, including sports, science, and space; countering anti-Semitism and supporting freedom of speech; and measuring the long-term impact of exchange programs.Science and technology initiatives may showcase joint innovation, research, and exploration. Sports diplomacy projects can leverage major events to promote leadership, teamwork, and shared goals.
