In my capacity as the Director of the Research and Development Unit at the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, my team and I develop innovative algorithms and software which promote and advance diplomatic objectives via online digital channels. In fact, I pioneer a new sub field of Digital Diplomacy experts refer to as Code-based or Algorithmic Diplomacy - the harnessing of algorithms to influence the flow of country related narratives in the online matrix. To the best of my knowledge this is a unique and groundbreaking position in the world of diplomacy - translating diplomatic objectives into code language.If I got you interested I'd be happy to discuss more on Twitter (@YoavAdler): http://twitter.com/YoavAdler
