The awards will be conferred every three years during the General Assembly, with ten categories recognizing, for example, international, interdisciplinary scientific research cooperation; innovation in education, outreach and public engagement; and excellence in promoting the free and responsible practice of science.
First edition of the ISC Awards programme
The 2nd ISC General Assembly was also notable for the first edition of the ISC Awards Programme, which was established by the Governing Board to recognize individuals, groups and initiatives that serve to advance science as a global public good.
