ASSEMBLY
One of the milestones of our year was the General Assembly held
in October, the second ever such meeting held by the Council.
Originally planned as an in-person event in Muscat, hosted by The
Research Council Oman and the Ministry of Higher Education,
Research & Innovation of the Sultanate of Oman, in the context of
the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic the General Assembly was shifted
to a fully online format, with interactive sessions, online voting and
networking, live music and a virtual exhibition.
Immediately preceding the General Assembly, a Members’ Forum
brought together scientific Unions, Associations and other Members
of the ISC to discuss their most pressing issues and the long-term
perspective for membership engagement, particularly around
advancing equality in science and working to achieve the SDGs.
Over 500 member representatives and other guests joined online
during the five days of the General Assembly.
Preceding the General Assembly in October 2021, an Electronic
General Assembly (eGA) held in February brought together the
ISC membership to elect the 2021 Elections Committee and adopt
several changes to the ISC Statutes and Rules of Procedure.
