2020 was an unprecedented year for the scientific community and for the world. The COVID-19 pandemic caused widespread disruption, but also created new opportunities and demonstrated the importance of international scientific collaboration. Read online or download our Annual Report below.

The vision of the International Science Council is to advance science as a global public good. Scientific knowledge, data and expertise must be universally accessible and their benefits universally shared. The practice of science must be inclusive and equitable, as should opportunities for scientific education and capacity development.

The International Science Council (ISC) is a non-governmental organization with a unique global membership that brings together 40 international scientific Unions and Associations and over 140 national and regional scientific organizations including Academies and Research Councils.
