The International Science Reserve (ISR) offers a free digital hub to help the ISR community better prepare for global crises through various scenario-based activities. Our hub brings together our scientists: they can connect, collaborate, and analyze how they would apply their skills and research in different disaster scenarios. (If you need help with signing on to the digital hub, please scroll down.)

Join or log on today to: 

  • Play digital preparedness games. We offer a variety of games, including our NEW Pathogen Outbreak Game that challenges players to test their decision making during an emerging public health emergency. You’ll also find a suite of short scenario-based games – to help explore scientific response to risks such as climate-induced crises. 
  • Participate in transdisciplinary, global discussions. Using crisis scenarios and scientific articles, our guided discussions encourage the cross pollination of ideas on how to collectively prepare science for crises. 

Pathogen Outbreak Game: Are you ready for the challenge?

Participate in our curated selection of preparedness games and discussions to exercise your rapid response and decision-making skills.

Ready to play? Sign-up for the ISR’s digital hub now and earn badges to share with your network.  

After you complete a game or preparedness discussion, we will issue you a verifiable badge for all to see in the digital hub. You can also share your ISR badges on other platforms, such as LinkedIn.
