The International Science Council (ISC) works at the global level to catalyse and convene scientific expertise, advice and influence on issues of major concern to both science and society. The ISC membership has elected eight new members of the ISC Governing Board who will take office at the conclusion of the Third ISC General Assembly on 30 January 2025. Former Dutch minister Professor Robbert Dijkgraaf has been elected as the new president of the council.
The ISC’s unique global membership brings together 250 international scientific unions and associations, national and regional scientific organizations including academies and research councils, international federations and societies, and young academies and associations. The ISC, created in 2018 from the merger of the International Council for Science and the International Social Science Council, is an international non-governmental organization.
