The ISC Governing Board has recently received applications for ISC membership from the organizations listed below. In accordance with ISC Rule of Procedure 8.5., before making a decision on the approval of ISC membership applicants and their admission to the ISC membership, the Governing Board ascertains if there is adequate support from ISC Members.
⬇ We invite all ISC (full) Members of category 1 and 2 to submit statements of support for the applicants listed below to become a Member of the International Science Council via the online form located at the bottom of this page by 15 February 2023.
Please note that the ISC Governing Board has invited young organizations to join the ISC as Affiliated Members (Members of Category 3 with no voting rights) with their initial fees waived from now until the next General Assembly as part of a broader campaign to ensure diverse voices are represented within the ISC membership and early-career and young scientists form part of the ISC community. The Secretariat has spent time with each of these organizations, many of whom have members who are already active within the ISC community. You may find a summary sheet made from these discussions on the final page of each of the applications. Moreover, each young academy or organization associated with a senior organization has submitted a letter of support, which is also available as part of the application documents below.
Please click on each organization name to view the application documents.
