The Council’s Committee for Freedom and Responsibility in Science (CFRS) is the guardian of the principles of Freedom and Responsibility in Science, which are enshrined in the Council’s Statutes.
CFRS monitors individual and generic cases of scientists whose freedoms and rights are restricted as a result of carrying out their scientific research, and provides assistance in such cases where its intervention can provide relief and support activities of other relevant actors. In addition to this, members of CFRS are involved in a range of projects involving international partners and other Committees within the ISC.
