View this email in your browser     Mobilizing interdisciplinary science for a more sustainable and resilient world   The Frontiers Planet Prize, endorsed by the International Science Council, announced its 2024 international champions. The three winning scientists were each awarded $1.1 million (USD) to support their research aimed at saving the planet.     Explore award-winning research   Share Share Forward to a friend   The Frontiers Planet Prize recognizes and rewards scientists whose groundbreaking research accelerates solutions to help humanity remain safely within the nine planetary boundaries. In its second edition, the Prize honored the contributions of three scientists: Dr. Pedro Jaureguiberry from the Multidisciplinary Institute of Plant Biology in Argentina, whose research addresses the drivers of global anthropogenic biodiversity loss; Prof. Dr. Peter Haase from the Senckenberg Society for Nature Research in Germany, who highlights the vital importance of preserving freshwater ecosystems with legislative action; Prof. Jason Rohr from the University of Notre Dame in the USA, who demonstrates how community-driven agricultural practices can reduce the prevalence of schistosomiasis, a disease affecting hundreds of millions globally. Review their award-winning research articles here.     New report:  'Snapshots of reform: Researcher evaluation within science organizations'   The global conversation around research evaluation is gaining momentum, underscoring the urgent need to move beyond traditional metrics that prioritize quantity over quality and to embrace comprehensive, value-driven approaches. This new report, “Snapshots of Reform: Researcher Evaluation within Science Organizations, produced by the Global Young Academy (GYA), the InterAcademy Partnership (IAP), and the International Science Council (ISC), identifies actionable steps that science organizations can take to reform researcher evaluation.  Find out what your organization can do.       Our top news this month High-level Political Forum 2024   Discover how the ISC is involved in the High-level Political Forum on Sustainable Development 2024.   9 July | Science Day 2024 15 July | Launch of the Global Foresight Report 16 July | Air Pollution and Public Health Explore all our engagements   Shared concerns and aspirations around AI in Latin America and the Caribbean  A recent workshop around preparing national research systems for artificial intelligence (AI) revealed shared views on AI in science across the vast and diverse region.
