Global science collaboration is important because it allows scientists from different countries to share ideas, resources, and expertise to address complex scientific problems that cannot be solved by any one country alone. It also promotes cross-cultural understanding and international cooperation, and can lead to more efficient and effective use of limited research funds. 

Additionally, global collaboration can facilitate the transfer of scientific knowledge and technology between developed and developing countries, helping to bridge the global divide in scientific capacity and improve the overall state of scientific knowledge worldwide. We give a voice to global science at the Science Summit annual event. ISC manages the AERAP Africa-Europe Science Collaboration platform.
