Benefits of Membership

The Science Council is a community of over 30 learned societies and professional associations working together to strengthen the collective impact of the science community for public benefit. We do this by connecting the science professions to foster knowledge exchange and, through our professional registers, offer interdisciplinary recognition for scientists across the world.

The Science Council’s strength comes from its broad membership across disciplines and professions, and its ability to be multi- and inter-disciplinary in its approach. We take an inclusive approach to membership and welcome all qualifying organisations committed to high professional standards in science.

Membership of the Science Council will help you to

• collaborate with other leading science organisations though our facilitated Networks and Forums
