26. Priorities

27. The ISC works with its members, partners and sponsored
initiatives on a set of targeted, priority projects, which are set
out in regular multi-year Action Plans.
https://council.science/actionplan/
Our 2022-2024 Action Plan sets out an agenda for
transformative action across five domains of impact:
•Global Sustainability
•Converging Science and Technology in a Digital Era
•Science in Policy and Public Discourse
•Changing Practices in Science and Science Systems
•Freedom and Responsibility in Science
The next slides reflect some of the issues we’re actively
working on –and thinking about –under each domain
The ISC Action Plan

28. •With a planet on ‘red alert’ and societies
far off-track in their progress towards
achieving the SDGs, recovery from the
COVID-19 pandemic must involve a
redoubling of global efforts to reset
humanity’s relationships with the planet in
ways that recover a self-sustaining
environment while ensuring human equity,
health and well-being.
•The human development approach was
conceived by Amartya Sen and others 30
years ago. What does human development
mean in today’s global context, and how
would we go about measuring it?
•In a global landscape of rapidly cascading
and complex risks, how do we define
hazards and, by implication, how do we
effectively monitor and respond to them?

29. •How do the tools of the digital revolution
–of big data, linked data, Artificial
Intelligence and machine learning –fuel
scientific discovery and advance our
ability to understanding complex social
phenomena?
•How can processes of digitalization help
us to speed and scale up on making
progress in the achievement of
sustainable development goals by 2030?
How can we use new digital technologies
to support progress in education,
particularly following disruption caused
by the COVID-19 pandemic?
•How are technologies converging, and
what are the impacts for ethics and
governance?

30. •Scientists have had a central role in public
discourse around the COVID-19 pandemic,
being regarded as trustworthy
contributors. How can this trust in science
be maintained?
•How does science engage more effectively
with policy and wider publics; how do we
support scientists to engage more
effectively with decision makers from
policy, business and civil society and how
would such engagement support the
production of knowledge that is both
rigorous and relevant, credible and
legitimate?
•The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic
was met with an impressive response
from the science community, and
provided a ‘living laboratory’ for
innovative open science. Should the
scientific response be a pointer to a ‘new
normal’?

31. •How inclusive and diverse –and equitable
–is the global scientific endeavour? What
do we do about persistent global
knowledge divides and systemic
discrimination in science?
•How do we ensure global public access to
the record of science –publications and
data?
•How do we enable science that responds
to societal demands and delivers global
public goods when scientists continue to
be evaluated, rewarded and incentivized in
ways that foster a culture of academic
competition?

32. •Science needs a social licence to operate.
This combination of freedom and
responsibility is essential to the scientific
vocation and its role in the generation of
new and useful knowledge as a global
public good. What are the responsibilities
of scientists in the 21st century? Have they
evolved because of the digital era, or
because of changed political, social and
economic expectations?
•Do emergency settings influence the
responsibilities of scientists? What
responsibilities should scientists have for
use of their discoveries?
•How does the science system need to
change to combat racism and other forms
of discrimination?
•What support do refugee and displaced
scientists need?

35. The International Science Council (ISC) is committed to a
vision of science as a global public good. This vision has
profound implications for the ways in which science is
conducted and used, and the roles that it plays in society.
Science as a Global Public
Good
This ISC position paper considers those implications, exploring the
ways they influence the responsibilities of scientists, both individually
and collectively, and how they apply in the different settings in which
science is practiced.

36. .
This project outlines a range of possible scenarios over the
mid-and long-term that aim to assist our understanding of
the options for achieving an optimistic and fair end to the
pandemic.
COVID-19
Scenarios Project
The COVID-19 road ahead is long, winding and uncertain
•The pandemic is a long way from being over
•Science has made, and will continue to make, major
contributions to the battle
•Decisions by governments and individuals will determine
how long it is before any form of normality can be
approached
•Any path to the best outcome for all will depend on
effective global co-operation

37. A partnership with BBC StoryWorksexploring the role of science in
solving humankind’s most complex challenges through videos, podcasts
and multimedia stories.

38. .
Led by the ISC in collaboration with experts and
practitioners from natural and social sciences, this
presents the launch of a global dialogue on rethinking
human development for today’s world.
Rethinking Human
Development
It has been 30 years since the first Human
Development Report was published in
1990. Since that time, our world has
changed considerably. Current and
impending crises in ecological, health,
political, and economic systems have
become evident.

39. Opening the Record of
Science:
Making scholarly publishing work for science in the di
gital era
Efficient access to the record of science –for authors and for readers –is
essential for science and society. This ISC Report examines the current
landscape of scholarly publishing, explores future trends and proposes
seven principles for scientific and scholarly publishing.
This report is the first output of the ISC’s ongoing project on The Future
of Scientific Publishing. The report sets out 7 principles (now extended
to 8) that have been endorsed by ISC members as the basis for action for
change.

40. .
A global collaboration between the ISC and its
members, Public Health England, Integrated
Research for Disaster Risk, and the UNDRR
Science and the Sendai
Framework for Disaster
Risk Reduction
The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–
2030 (‘the Sendai Framework’) was one of three landmark
agreements adopted by the United Nations in 2015. The
other two being the Sustainable Development Goals of
Agenda 2030 and the Paris Agreement on Climate Change.

41. Openness is at the heart of the scientific endeavour. This
draft working paper, which was developed in response to
a UNESCO global consultation on open science, brings
together work developed within the International Science
Council’s community on open science.
Open Science for the
21st Century
The paper describes the rationale for and the origins of
the modern open science movement, its dimensions
and its applications. It makes recommendations to
scientists, to universities, to UNESCO and to other
science systems stakeholders about changes that are
necessary for the effective operation of open science.
