Science as a global public good: ISC Action Plan, 2019-2021

The Action Plan set out the International Science Council’s activities in 2019 – 2021. Its most important purpose was to form a practical framework for the ISC’s work until the end of 2021, and to work towards our vision of science as a global public good.

The Action Plan 2019 – 2021 marked the culmination of many months of Board discussions, consultation within the ISC membership and with the broader international science community. It was intended to be a living document, allowing the ISC the flexibility to respond to new and emerging opportunities, and to adapt to ongoing strategic reflection and development. It also provided a basis for continual monitoring and progress reporting to Members and other stakeholders.

The Action Plan aimed to motivate and activate our growing membership to engage in the ISC science projects and programmes. Implementing the Action Plan required partnering with our Members, and with other international scientific organizations, funders, and stakeholders who share and are inspired by the ambitions captured in the document.
