In order to strengthen international science for the benefit of society,
ICSU mobilizes the knowledge and resources of the international science
community to:
Identify and address major issues of importance to science and society.
Facilitate interaction amongst scientists across all disciplines
and from all countries.
Promote the participation of all scientists—regardless of race,
citizenship, language, political stance, or gender—in the international
scientific endeavour.
Provide independent, authoritative advice to stimulate constructive
dialogue between the scientific community and governments, civil society,
and the private sector.
