On March 18, 2014, the Institute of International Relations (IIR) hosted a Distinguished Lecture by University Chancellor, Sir George Alleyne, titled "Health Dipomacy; Science Diplomacy. Can the twain meet?" Sir George sought to interrogate the incompatibility between the essential canons of science (in the area of health) and state diplomacy and generate a discussion on the possibility of synergy betwen these two seemingly disparate areas.
