Our Members are at the heart of the International Science Council. The ISC draws its identity and strength from them. Every three years they convene during a General Assembly to chart the strategic direction of the organization.

The International Science Council (ISC) is the only international NGO bringing together organizations from both the natural and social sciences, including international unions and associations as well as national and regional scientific organizations such as academies, research councils, institutes and foundations.

Through our Members, the ISC is unique in its capacity to integrate scientific excellence and science-policy expertise from all fields of science and all regions of the world. Together, we advance science as a global public good.

Diversity in science is reflected in the diversity of the ISC membership. Such diversity of disciplines and epistemologies play across different aspects of the science enterprise resulting in knowledge that is salient, timely and cogent. The ISC constituency as a whole will continue to nurture and treasure the diversity of and synergies among all ISC Members.
