A Science Community for Crisis Preparedness
The International Science Reserve’s community is a network of over 20,000 scientists and scientific institutions from around the world working together to accelerate research to address complex global crises.
Most ISR members work within the fields of behavioral & social science, data & technology, physical sciences & engineering, environmental sciences, or life sciences & medicine.
A Global Network for Solutions
Many of today’s most pressing issues—public health, climate, energy crises—are inherently global. Collaborative research ensures solutions are informed by diverse perspectives and applicable across different regions. The ISR pre-positions resources for scientists and researchers to connect quickly across borders, potentially bypassing extensive applications or long waits for approvals.
This global community comes together directly via the ISR Digital Hub – an online space to connect, collaborate, and analyze how to apply skills and research in different disasters.
Our members span from institutions from over 100 different countries.
Role Playing Crisis to Prepare for Real-Life Disaster
When a crisis hits, there are complex decisions that leaders must make to protect people and reduce the impact on society and the environment. The ISR’s Serious Games are one of many ways to engage with scenario planning and knowledge building. The ISR Digital Hub community is the first to access newly published exercises.
The Digital Hub experience:
• Explore response scenarios: Access Serious Games – or simulation exercises – to help explore risk and consider responses to situations like public health crises and climate change-linked hazards.
• Sharpen your strategic thinking: Increase decision-making and collaboration skills to prepare for crises.
• Unlock exclusive resources: Access resources to accelerate research.
• Turn research into solutions: Contribute to crisis solutions through real-world application of your research.
• Engage in global dialogue: Participate in transdisciplinary, global discussions with fellow experts.
• Advance your career and influence: Develop in your field through knowledge sharing, networking, and community connections.
