The International Science Council (ISC) is an international non-governmental organization that unites scientific bodies at various levels across the social and natural sciences. The ISC was formed with its inaugural general assembly on 4 July 2018 by the merger of the former International Council for Science (ICSU) and the International Social Science Council (ISSC), making it one of the largest organisations of this type.[1][2][3][4]

Daya Reddy, mathematician, served (2018–2021) as the ISC's inaugural President.[5] Sir Peter Gluckman, pediatrician, biomedical scientist, and science-policy expert, was elected President in October 2021.[6] Other ISC's inaugural Officers elected for the term of 2018–2021 were Elisa Reis (Vice President),[7] Jinghai Li (Vice President),[8] Renée van Kessel (Treasurer),[9] and Alik Ismail-Zadeh (Secretary).[10] Until February 2022, Heide Hackmann served as the Council's CEO.[11] In 2023, Salvatore Aricò was elected Chief Executive Officer.[12]
