Abstract

Last October, a new Governing Board has been appointed to lead the International Science Council (ISC), an international non-governmental organization that works to provide a global voice for science. The Governing Board is a central decision-making body of the Council, which was formed in 2018 by the merger of the International Council of Science (ICSU), representing the natural sciences, and the International Social Science Council (ISSC).

At the 2nd ISC General Assembly, which took place online 11-15 October 2021, ISC Members elected four Officers of the Governing Board and ten Ordinary Members to join the incoming President of the ISC, Peter Gluckman, who takes up his presidency at the conclusion of the 2021 General Assembly.

The ten Ordinary Members of the Governing Board elected for the next three years are: Karina Batthyány; Françoise Baylis; Geoffrey Boulton; Melody Burkins; Mei-Hung Chiu; Pamela Matson; Helena Nader; Walter Oyawa; Maria Paradiso; and Martin Visbeck.

IUPAC supported Mei-Hung Chiu’s candidacy and is pleased to see her elected in this new position. Chiu is an elected member of the Bureau and Executive Committee of IUPAC since 2016. Prior she was Chair of Committee on Chemistry Education for four years. Mei-Hung Chiu is a Distinguished Professor at the Graduate Institute of Science Education, National Taiwan Normal University.

The membership of the ISC Governing Board reflects the multi-disciplinarity of the Council’s membership base, as well as regional and gender diversity. Amongst its duties, the ISC Governing Board provides strategic leadership and develops priority activity and business plans for approval by the General Assembly, as well as monitoring the implementation and performance of such plans. The Board oversees the scientific activities and other operations of the Council and reports to the General Assembly, as well as proposing budgetary outlines and the scale of annual dues to be paid by Members.
