The International Science Council is the global voice for science

It was created in 2018 as the result of a merger between the International Council for Science (ICSU) and the International Social Science Council (ISSC) and is the only international non-governmental organization bringing together the natural and social sciences and the largest global science organization of its type.

The vision of the Council is to advance science as a global public good. Scientific knowledge, data and expertise must be universally accessible and its benefits universally shared – that’s why science journalism is so critical to empowering open societies, so citizens can be engaged in and make informed decisions about their future.
