The Council convenes the scientific expertise and resources needed to lead on catalysing, incubating and coordinating impactful international action on issues of major scientific and public importance.

What we do

The Council’s activities focus on three principal areas of work:


ISC Priorities for 2024

The Council’s Priorities, and its Action Plan, form the practical framework for the ISC’s work until the end of 2024, and to work towards our vision of science as a global public good.


Action Plans

The ISC’s three-yearly Action Plans serve to operationalize the ISC’s vision, mission and strategic objectives. The Plans provide the Council’s members, funders and stakeholders with regular outlooks on ISC priorities and activity planning, monitoring and reporting.
