International Science Council appoints 66 Foundation Fellows who have made exceptional contributions to the role of science as a global public good

Paris, 9 June 2022 – The International Science Council has today 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. The Fellowship — высшая награда, которая может быть присуждена отдельному лицу Международным научным советом.

The first cohort of Fellows includes 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. The Fellows come from across the world and from different disciplinary backgrounds and sectors of work. Of the 66 Foundation Fellows announced today, there are 30 women and 36 men, including a number of younger scientists who have already made exceptional efforts in advancing science as a global public good.

“We want to clearly recognize those scientists who have contributed and continue to contribute to the global voice for science,” said ISC President Peter Gluckman, “science needs champions, not just those who receive high-profile scientific prizes, but those who champion science in society and in policy-making, whether early or late in their career”.

Коллекция Fellowship includes all members of the current and past Governing Boards of the ISC. The 2022 cohort includes inaugural President of the ISC, Daya Reddy, who led the Governing Board from 2018 to 2021, and the Council’s first Chief Executive Officer, Heide Hackmann.

С 2022 года будет введен ежегодный процесс запроса кандидатур от членов ISC и других партнеров с целью увеличения ISC. Fellowship около 600 активных Fellows.

Through their scientific leadership and work to promote science in the public domain, the ISC Fellows will support the ISC’s mission to act as the global voice for science.
