 OECD   Global Science Forum  Presentation by Frédéric Sgard, Secretariat of the Global Science Forum

Thirty-four member countries Three observer countries (China, Russia, South Africa)

Through the Global Science Forum, senior government officials develop findings and action recommendations on high-priority science policy issues. GSF is a general-purpose committee, dealing with a wide range of subjects: Specific scientific domains where something new, noteworthy is happening, e.g., astroparticle physics Policy issues where international consultations are needed, e.g., strategic planning of infrastructures Issues at the intersection of science and society, e.g., preventing misconduct in research

International Scientific Orgs. Advisory Groups & Experts International Organizations Labs & Institutes Funding Agencies Central Science Administrations Global Science Forum Stakeholders

The Global Science Forum meets two times each year. Specific activities are proposed by delegations. A Approved subsidiary activities (working groups, workshops) usually involve funding agency officials, laboratory administrators, representatives of scientific organisations, invited experts. B All subsidiary activities result in a publicly-available policy-level report containing findings and recommendations. C How the Global Science Forum Works
