The ISC General Assembly is the premier occasion for ISC Members and Affiliated Bodies, Fellows and partners from all domains of science and regions of the world to meet for cross-disciplinary, strategic discussions on challenges and priorities for international cooperation in science. The ISC General Assembly meets in ordinary session every four years.
The Muscat Global Knowledge Dialogue, which takes place on 27–28 January, is the segment of the ISC General Assembly focusing on science and is open to a wider public.
The 2025 ISC General Assembly will be hosted by our Member, the Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation of Oman, on 26–30 January 2025. It is the first in-person General Assembly of the ISC since the creation of the organization in July 2018.
All ISC Member organizations, including Affiliated Bodies, are invited to send a delegation of their own selection, and with no limit regarding the number of delegates, to the General Assembly. ISC Fellows are also welcome to attend the General Assembly. Other participants are by invitation only. ISC Members, including Affiliated Bodies, and Fellows are invited and encouraged to attend all parts of the event (26 – 30 January).
The ISC and the Ministry for Higher Education, Research and Innovation of Oman are closely monitoring developments in the conflict in the Middle East and their implications for the ISC General Assembly in Muscat. The safety of participants of the General Assembly is a top priority of the ISC and Oman, and participants are reminded that they should always follow their governments’ travel advice.
The ISC will communicate with its membership and other invitees without delay should there be any change in the current plans regarding the General Assembly.
