Translating Priorities to Actions For…
National & Union Members
• Establish/expand early career networks & mentoring
• Engage early-career scientists in science policy and communication
• Continue and expand co-design practices• Develop communities of practice involving
early career scientists
Funding, Review & Reward Agencies
• Design incentives to value interdisciplinary science, outreach, communication & policy
Coordinating Bodies(ICSU, ISSC, IAP, TWAS, IAC)
• Work together to coordinate networks (in person and online)
• Support mobility programmes• Support communication and policy opportunities• Guidelines for
incentives that value science for society inclusive recruitment & diversity in leadership
Everyone!
• Integrate early career scientists in leadership throughout your organizations• Participate in vision- and agenda-setting• Serve on scientific and policy committees and
executive boards• Involve in process of publication: peer review, editorial
boards• Publicize opportunities and make merit-based
nominations• Design, participate in, and review conferences
Proposed decision text• We urge the executive board to take action within ICSU
to integrate and involve early career scientists – in advisory, review and governance bodies as appropriate
• and encourage its national and union members, interdisciplinary bodies, and associates to support early career scientists through:– Mentoring and career support networks– Opportunities and incentives to engage in science for society– Including them in day-to-day business between GAs and in
the GA delegation• And to report back on progress made for the next GA.
