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

3. 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: 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 Specific scientific domains where something new, noteworthy is happening, e.g., astroparticle physics

4. Labs & Institutes InternationalOrganizations Advisory Groups & Experts InternationalScientific Orgs. Funding Agencies Central Science Administrations Global Science Forum Stakeholders

5. 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 C All subsidiary activities result in a publicly-available policy-level report containing findings and recommendations. How the Global Science Forum Works
