The International Council for Science

Abstract

The mission of the International Council for Science (ICSU) is to strengthen international science for the benefit of society. Its long-term vision is for a world where excellence in science is effectively translated into policymaking and socioeconomic development. In such a world, universal and equitable access to scientific data and information would be a reality and all countries would have the scientific capacity to use these and to contribute to the new generation of knowledge.
