The Council and its partners participated in several events at the forum, including the ‘Rolling the dice or planning ahead with confidence?’ panel where the ISC introduced its flagship COVID-19 report, ‘Unprecedented and Unfinished’, and the International Network for Government Science Advice (INGSA)/EuroScience joint high-level panel ‘Giving and taking scientific advice: mind the gap’, featuring newly appointed ISC Patron, Irina Bokova.
The forum was one of the first opportunities the Council had to re-engage with Members in person since the COVID-19 pandemic started. A VIP lunch event was one of the highlights of the forum, bringing together the ISC’s Members and broader community, providing a chance to officially welcome Ms Bokova into the ISC family.
