Awards Selection Committee

The Committee works to ensure that the Awards Programme is distinguished in all respects, recognizes the full range of the ISC community, and fosters the building of a global network of individuals and initiatives that epitomize excellence and international cooperation in research, education, outreach, science policy, and diplomacy.

Every four years, the International Science Council Awards Programme recognizes individuals, groups, and initiatives that serve to advance science as a global public good. An Awards Selection Committee is appointed by the ISC President, with the approval of the ISC Governing Board, for each edition of the awards to select the awardees. Geographic, gender, and age distribution are important considerations for selection of nominees.
