The National Academy of Sciences, through BISO, adheres to the International Science Council (ISC) at the national level.
Description
The National Academy of Sciences (NAS) is the U.S.-adhering member of the International Science Council (ISC), a non-governmental organization designed to advance, serve, and enable science. The ISC provides a wide spectrum of scientific expertise, enabling members to address major international, interdisciplinary issues. Membership in ISC consists primarily of national members (multidisciplinary scientific academies or research councils) and scientific union members (international, disciplinary organizations).
For more information on the membership of BISO, please consult the BISO membership webpage.
BISO fulfills its membership responsibilities through:
- sharing information about ISC programs and activities with the U.S. scientific community,
- sending the U.S. delegation to the triennial General Assembly of the ISC,
- responding to requests from the ISC,
- nominating individuals to serve on committees and as officers of the ISC,
- alerting the ISC to important new issues, and
