ISC Fellows appointed in December 2023: Asia-Pacific region

The ISC Fellowship recognizes individuals for their outstanding contributions to the promotion of science as a global public good. The Fellowship is the highest honour that can be conferred on an individual by the International Science Council.

On 9 June 2022, the ISC announced the creation of a Fellowship and appointment of 66 Foundation Fellows who are recognized for their outstanding contributions to promoting science as a global public good. In December 2022, a further 57 Fellowships were awarded – together with three Honorary Fellows for the inaugural and outgoing ISC Patrons – and further 100 Fellows were appointed in December 2023, of those, 26 Fellows are from Asia and the Pacific region (listed below).

The Fellows include eminent scientists, engineers and thought-leaders from the science-policy sphere who have made remarkable contributions to furthering understanding of and engagement with science. As scientific experts and as knowledge brokers, they uphold the ISC’s vision of science as a global public good, of knowledge that is shared openly and freely to all who wish to scrutinize it and to use it to further understanding.

We want to clearly recognize those scientists who have and continue to contribute to the global voice for science. In that way we expand our footprint and our voice. Science needs champions, not just those who receive high profile scientific prizes but champions who can give voice to the global voice for science.

Peter Gluckman, President of the International Science Council.
