International Council for Science (ICSU)

The FNR’s membership in ICSU aims to facilitate international cooperation with non-European countries. Indeed, in order to strengthen international science for the benefit of society, ICSU mobilises the knowledge and resources of the international science community to:

  • Identify and address major issues of importance to science and society.
  • Facilitate interaction amongst scientists across all disciplines and from all countries.
  • Promote the participation of all scientists - regardless of race, citizenship, language, political stance, or gender - in the international scientific endeavour.
  • Provide independent, authoritative advice to stimulate constructive dialogue between the scientific community and governments, civil society, and the private sector.
