The ICSU has launched a discussion forum on Science and Technology in the Information Society. Discussion is welcome on these four topics:
  1. Scientific data and information for decision-making and better governance
  2. Ensuring universal access to scientific knowledge internationally
  3. Scientific data and information as a global public good
  4. Using Scientific data and information to improve all levels of education and training
The ICSU hopes that the discussion will help prepare participants for the UN World Summit on the Information Society (Geneva, December 2003, and Tunis, 2005).
