International Council for Science (ICSU)

Founded in 1931, the International Council for Science (ICSU) is a non-governmental organisation representing a global membership that includes both national scientific academies (120 members) and international scientific unions (30 members). Drawing on this wide spectrum of expertise, ICSU addresses major international, interdisciplinary issues typically beyond the scope of individual organisations. The Council also builds on this vast knowledge by initiating, designing, and coordinating multidisciplinary research programmes, particularly in the area of global environmental change.
