Nurturing Future Scientists (2016)

The present-day society heavily relies upon science-based discovery, technology and policies. In light of this, nurturing future scientists is important for the development of society. Connecting scientists and society, and creating a diverse global workforce need to be promoted.

The G-Science Academies recommend the followings:

• (1) Further promotion of science education for necessary capacities;
• (2) Supporting young scientists for development of career in broader sectors;
• (3) Implementation of scientists’ assessment based on quality and diverse activities;
• (4) Prioritizing science communication to the public and children;
• (5) Training scientists for science advice to policies;
• (6) Improving working conditions of women and minority groups for career development;
• (7) Developing science capacity and mutual mobility by collaboration of developed and developing countries; and
• (8) Ensuring access to academic literatures and information, and opportunities of publication of research results.
