À propos
The International Science Council (ISC) is a non-governmental organization with a unique global membership that brings together 40 international scientific Unions and Associations and over 140 national and regional scientific organisations including Academies and Research Councils. The ISC was created in 2018 as the result of a merger between the International Council for Science (ICSU) and the International Social Science Council (ISSC). It is the only international non-governmental organization bringing together the natural and social sciences and the largest global science organization of its type.

🔴 Nearly 19,000 people have been killed and almost 11 million displaced in #Sudan since civil war began in April 2023. The country’s academic and scientific foundations are under siege. Over 100 universities have been damaged or destroyed, forcing scientists to flee. The country’s vital #seed bank, housing 15,000 unique plant samples, is now at risk due to escalating violence. ➡️ Read more about the race to save Sudan’s scientific future in our latest blog: https://lnkd.in/e6MHeC8n 🔴 The ISC is compiling offers of assistance from its network of Members, partners, and the global scientific community to support at-risk Sudanese scholars and students.

How do industry-science partnerships impact the integrity of #research? In this must-read blog, Prof. Craig Callender from UC San Diego explores the concerning role these partnerships can play in spreading #disinformation by funding research that aligns with industry agendas, often at the expense of public health and policy. He makes a compelling case for increased transparency in academic funding to safeguard scientific integrity. "Partnerships between #industry and #science can be tremendously valuable, but unfortunately they sometimes play a pivotal role in disinformation campaigns that undermine the public good. The most notorious example of this comes from tobacco. Despite tobacco killing an estimated 100 million people in the 20th century, the tobacco industry fought evidence linking smoking to lung cancer by funding biomedical research—even when it knew the truth. As internal memos show, academic allies were a critical and intentional part of the industry’s fight against health regulation. What industry gets from these partnerships is the appearance of impartial evidence that can be used to combat unfavorable policy. By delaying tobacco regulation for decades, industry reaped massive profits. #Tobacco is still at it, although the target is ever changing. Unable to deny the link to lung cancer, the industry shifted to second-hand smoke and now heated tobacco products (“smokeless cigarettes”). Recently in Japan a whistleblower at Philip Morris was sacked for alerting the public to a scheme the company used to infiltrate policy and epidemiological research on heated tobacco at two Japanese universities." ➡ Read in full : https://lnkd.in/eu5nyVBA #MustRead #ScienceIntegrity #PublicHealth #Disinformation #AcademicTransparency #ResearchEthics #ScienceMatters #ScientificCommunity #ResearchIntegrity #HigherEd
