At their joint General Assembly in Taipei in October 2017, the members of the International Council for Science (ICSU) and the International Social Science Council (ISSC) took a final decision to merge the two organizations to become the International Science Council (ISC).
At this founding General Assembly of the new organization, the combined membership of the two predecessor organizations will elect their representatives on the governing structures of the new Council.
GYA Co-Chair Tolu Oni introduced GYA’s perspective and experience with interdisciplinary cooperation already in the merger conference in Taipei, and is now again invited to represent the Global Young Academy at the initial meeting of the world’s largest science council. GYA is looking forward to a fruitful cooperation.
