Millennium Fellowship Project: NeuroDiplomacy

NeuroDiplomacy is a student-led project dedicated to breaking down barriers that limit the access of neurodivergent young people to the fields of international relations and diplomacy, recognizing both the unique challenges they face in traditionally rigid, soft-skill–intensive environments and the exceptional strengths they bring to analytical and creative problem-solving. Beginning at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, the initiative seeks first to identify neurodivergent students interested in diplomatic careers and, in the long term, to actively integrate them into existing academic and extracurricular spaces such as Model UN, youth forums, student organizations, and networks of professors and researchers. Through talks, workshops, and guided participation, NeuroDiplomacy aims not only to foster inclusion, but to cultivate talent, empower future professionals, and contribute to a more diverse, representative, and innovative practice of diplomacy in an increasingly complex world.

About the Millennium Fellow

Ignacio Sepúlveda is a political science student at the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile. Having been interested in international relations since childhood, Ignacio wishes to keep learning about global affairs and hopefully make an impact in the world some day. As someone on the spectrum, he is keenly aware of the challenges faced by neurodivergent individuals in various parts of life, and yet, through his work he aims to raise awareness of what they can bring to the table, particularly in the field of diplomacy.
