This project has now been completed, and the ISC continues its outreach to ensure impact. The ISC is exploring the possibility of a Phase II project. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Principle of Freedom and Responsibility in Science<\/a> is at the heart of all of the ISC\u2019s work, and is enshrined in Statute II., Article 8, of the ISC Statutes and Rules of Procedure<\/a>. It sets out the freedoms that scientists ought to enjoy, balanced by their obligation to engage in responsible scientific practice and behaviour. The rapidly changing contexts within which scientific research is undertaken and applied in contemporary society have prompted the ISC to re-examine the meaning of this Principle, and of the role of bodies such as the ISC in upholding its basic tenets in this new and rapidly evolving context. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This project explored contemporary perspectives on the meaning and interpretation of scientific freedom and responsibility, including the responsibility of scientists to engage in providing advice to policymakers, to communicate their results to the general public, and to advocate for the value of science and for scientific values. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The CFRS developed globally informed guidance for ISC members, for research and educational institutions, and for individual scientists and their communities on what constitutes responsible conduct in contemporary science. Special attention was given to countries that are working to strengthen their science research systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Writing group<\/p><\/div> Technological and social developments are profoundly influencing the way science is practiced, demanding a re-evaluation of our core principle of freedom and responsibility in science. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":62473,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"tags":[],"region":[],"tag":[],"class_list":["post-18677","project","type-project","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nActivities and impact\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
