Early and Mid-Career Researchers (EMCR) Forum

The ISC Affiliated Membership for Young Academies and Associations provides the backdrop for global scientific collaboration, promoting diversity and inclusion when it comes to scientific representation from across the world and from all scientific career stages.

The International Science Council (ISC) recognizes that Early and Mid-Career scientists and young academies are confronted with many challenges when navigating and evolving within complex science systems. These challenges include funding, access to resources and support, as well as the need to build collaborative relationships within the scientific community.

To address these challenges, the ISC has made a commitment to fostering an ecosystem of collaboration, resource sharing, and partnership by engaging with young scientists at national, regional, and global levels.

The ISC launched in 2023 the Early and Mid-Career Researchers (EMCR) Forum which promotes the participation of EMCRs in international science and convenes young scientific groups within a space for exchange, learning and collaboration.

Together with ISC Affiliated Member in an advisory role, the Global Young Academy (GYA), the ISC will continuously extend a line of support and partnership with young scientists, that encourages international, intergenerational, and interdisciplinary collaboration and dialogue. The Forum will be offering opportunities for collaboration with ISC Members within an ecosystem of information exchange, regular meetings and joint initiatives.
