UMkhandlu Wezesayensi Wamazwe Ngamazwe uyaziqhenya ngokwabelana ngoMbiko Wawo Wonyaka ka-2025, oqokomisa unyaka lapho uMkhandlu uqinise khona amandla awo okusebenzela umphakathi wesayensi womhlaba wonke, waqinisa indima yesayensi ekwenzeni izinqumo zomhlaba wonke, kanye nemizamo ethuthukisiwe yokuqinisekisa ukuthi isayensi ihlala ivulekile, ithembekile futhi isabela ezweni elishintsha ngokushesha.
Umbiko wonyaka we-2025
Lo mbiko uzobuyekezwa emavikini azayo ukuze ufake izitatimende zezimali zika-2025.
Unyaka ka-2025 uphinde wabhekana nesifunda se-ISC, amalungu aso, ihhovisi likaNobhala kanye namahhovisi esifunda, nomhlaba oguquka ngokushesha nangokungazinzile. Ukuhlukaniswa kwemibono, ukujula kwemigqa yamaphutha ezombusazwe kanye nendawo yolwazi eqhekekayo kuqhubekile nokubumba izimo isayensi esebenza ngaphansi kwazo. Izingqinamba zingokoqobo: amazinga okuxhaswa kocwaningo kanye nokubuka okuhlelekile, izinga lenkululeko enikezwa isayensi kanye nezinga ulwazi lwesayensi olusetshenziswa ngalo ukusebenzela izintshisekelo zezombusazwe konke kunquma ukuthi indawo yesayensi izinzile futhi iyasebenza, noma iyashintshashintsha futhi ivinjelwe.
Kulezi zingcindezi ezijwayelekile kwenezelwe amandla amasha naphazamisayo: ukuqhuma kobuhlakani bokwenziwa (AI) ekukhiqizweni nasekusakazweni kokuqukethwe. Okuningi kwalokho okukhiqiza i-AI kwethulwa njengolwazi kuyilapho empeleni kuhlala kungumbono ongasekelwa ubufakazi. Umehluko phakathi kolwazi lwesayensi nemibono esemthethweni kodwa engaqinisekisiwe akuyona into yobuchwepheshe. Kuyanda ukuba yiphutha lapho ukwethembana kwisayensi nasezikhungweni zomphakathi kuzonqotshwa noma kulahleke khona.
I-ISC yayisiqalile ukulindela lezi zinguquko ngaphambi kwesikhathi kunabaningi. Ngo-2021 nango-2022, ngemuva kobhubhane lwe-COVID-19, uMkhandlu wethule uhlelo lokushintsha amasu olusekelwe ekuqapheliseni ukuthi indima yesayensi emphakathini yayingena enkathini yoshintsho olukhulu. Bambalwa ababona kusengaphambili ukuthi i-AI izoshintsha ngokushesha kangakanani izindinganiso ezimisiwe mayelana nokukhiqizwa kolwazi, noma ukuthi umhlaba wangemva kobhubhane uzoba buthaka kangakanani ngokwendawo kwezepolitiki. UMkhandlu wakubona kuza, futhi wathatha isinyathelo.
Ukukholisa Amalungu, ukubusa kanye nabaphathi ngokufanayo ngesidingo soshintsho kwakungelula. Kodwa ushintsho lwaludingeka. I-ISC kwadingeka idlulele ngale kwemisebenzi yayo evamile yokubeka uhlelo lwesayensi kanye nokufaka isandla ekuguqukeni kwezinhlelo zesayensi. Kwakudingeka itshale imali kubathengisi besayensi ezingeni lezizwe eziningi, iveze uhlobo olusha lwe-diplomacy yesayensi futhi iqinisekise inkululeko kanye nomthwalo wemfanelo kwisayensi njengezimo eziyisisekelo zososayensi ukuze badlale indima esebenzayo nethembekile emphakathini.
Ngo-2025 ikakhulukazi, uMkhandlu wenze intuthuko ebonakalayo kuzo zonke izinhlangothi: indima yawo ngaphakathi kohlelo lweZizwe Ezihlangene; izeluleko zesayensi kohulumeni; ucwaningo nokuqapha ama-ajenda omhlaba wonke; imisebenzi yososayensi ekugcineni ubuqotho berekhodi lesayensi; kanye nendlela ososayensi abangazisekela ngayo ngempumelelo izinqubo zezombusazwe, okuhlanganisa nohlelo lwentuthuko eqhubekayo yangemva kuka-2030.
Unyaka wenguquko, ngokwencazelo, awuvamile ukukhululeka. Kodwa njengoba manje siqhubekela phambili, uMkhandlu uzithola usesimeni esiqinile. Njengoba ubulungu bukhula futhi buhlukahluka, buqashelwa ngokuqinile njengezwi lomphakathi wesayensi wamazwe ngamazwe osebenzayo, i-ISC ingena isu layo lomsebenzi lika-2026-2028 kanye nohlelo lomsebenzi ngokucaca kwenhloso kanye nokuhambisana kwenhlangano. Isikhathi esizayo ngeke sidinge okungaphansi. Ukuhlukanisa ubufakazi emibonweni kuzokhula kube nzima futhi kube nomphumela omkhulu, futhi abenzi bezinqubomgomo, umkhakha ozimele, umphakathi kanye nezizwe ngokufanayo kuzodingeka bacabangele ngokugcwele ngalokho izimiso kanye nomkhuba wesayensi okungakunikeza: umbono oqondile wezwe lethu elihlanganyelwe, kanye nesisekelo esingcono kakhulu sezinqumo ezibaluleke kakhulu ngokuthula, inhlalakahle kanye nokusimama.
I-ISC inendima ebalulekile njengezwi lomhlaba wonke lamalungu ayo ekuchazeni indima kanye nomthwalo wemfanelo wososayensi nezinhlangano zesayensi esimweni esishintshayo. Iphinde isekele ososayensi nezinhlelo zesayensi njengoba bevumelana futhi befaka isandla ekuchazeni iziqondiso ezintsha zesayensi emphakathini. Masiqhubeke sisebenza ndawonye kuze kube yilokhu.
Ukubusa kanye nobulungu
Ngo-2025, i-ISC igxile ekuqiniseni izisekelo zayo zezikhungo ukuze isebenze kahle kakhulu njengeplatifomu yokuhlanganisa amalungu ayo kanye nomdlali othembekile ezinhlelweni zenqubomgomo nesayensi zamazwe ngamazwe.
Lo mzamo wawusekelwe ezindleleni ezimbili ezifanayo: ukucacisa isiqondiso samasu kanye nokuqinisa izakhiwo zokubusa ukuze zisekele ukuqaliswa.
I-Muscat Global Knowledge Dialogue (GKD) (26–28 Januwari 2025) yahlanganisa umphakathi wesayensi wamazwe ngamazwe ukuze ihlole izinguquko ezinkulu ezithinta isayensi nomphakathi. Izingxoxo zigxile ekuguqukeni kwezinhlelo zesayensi, ukushintshela ngokulinganayo ekuzinzeni, ubuchwepheshe obusha, ukungalingani ekubambeni iqhaza, ukwethembana kwisayensi, isayensi yezobunhloli kanye nemfundo yesayensi. Kuzo zonke lezi zindikimba, kwavela umyalezo ohambisanayo: isidingo sokubambisana okuqinile kwamazwe ngamazwe kanye nemikhakha eyahlukene, kanye nezinhlelo zesayensi ezisabela kakhudlwana, ezibandakanyayo futhi ezisobala ekubhekaneni nezinselele zomhlaba wonke.
Ingxoxo iphethe ngokwamukelwa kweSimemezelo sikaMuscat, isimemo esihlangene sokwenza izinto esiqinisekisa isayensi njengento enhle yomphakathi yomhlaba wonke, sibeka izibopho ezihlanganyelwe zokubhekana nezinselele eziphuthumayo, kanye nokubiza ukubambisana kwamazwe ngamazwe, okuxube imikhakha eyahlukene kanye nokuxube imikhakha eyahlukene, kanye nokuzibandakanya okukhulu nabaxhasi, abenzi bezinqubomgomo kanye nabanye abathintekayo.
Ngemva kwe-GKD, i-Third ISC General Assembly (29-30 Januwari 2025) yagxila ezintweni eziza kuqala ngokomthetho nangokwesu loMkhandlu. Amalungu abukeze uhlaka lweSulukumelwano kanye noHlelo Lokusebenza luka-2025-2028 kanye nesabelomali esihambisanayo seminyaka eminingi, agunyaza isabelomali sonyaka owodwa, futhi aphakamisa izinguquko kwiMithetho kanye neMithetho Yenqubo. Aphinde axoxa ngezinto eziza kuqala ezibalulekile, okuhlanganisa inkululeko kanye nomthwalo wemfanelo kwezesayensi, ukubandakanywa ezinhlelweni zesayensi, ukubandakanyeka kwesayensi nenqubomgomo kanye nokuxhumana kwesayensi. Uhlelo lokugcina lweSulukumelwano kanye noHlelo Lokusebenza luka-2025-2028 kanye nesabelomali esihambisanayo seminyaka eminingi samukelwa ngoDisemba 2025 ngevoti elikhethekile lamalungu.
Ingqophamlando ebalulekile yafezwa ngesikhathi semihlangano yaseMuscat ngokusayinwa kwencwadi yenhloso phakathi kwe-ISC kanye noMnyango Wezemfundo Ephakeme, Ucwaningo Nokusungula Izinto Ezintsha wase-Oman ukuze kusungulwe ubukhona be-ISC yesifunda eMuscat.
NgoJanuwari 2025, i-ISC yavuselela ukubusa kwayo ngokuqokwa kukaMongameli omusha okhethiwe kanye nokukhethwa kwamalungu amasha eBhodini Elibusayo.
USolwazi Robbert Dijkgraaf waqokwa njengoMongameli okhethiwe we-ISC. Njengososayensi wesayensi yethiyori onolwazi oluningi ekuhlanganiseni isayensi, inqubomgomo kanye nokubambisana kwamazwe ngamazwe, uSolwazi Dijkgraaf wake wasebenza njengoMqondisi kanye noSolwazi uLeon Levy e-Institute for Advanced Study ePrinceton, e-USA, kanye noNgqongqoshe Wezemfundo, Amasiko kanye Nesayensi yaseNetherlands. Ukuqokwa kwakhe kwabonisa ukuqhubeka kokuzibophezela kwe-ISC ekwenzeni kahle kwesayensi, ukuzibandakanya kwamazwe amaningi kanye nokuqinisa izinhlelo zesayensi emhlabeni jikelele. Uzothatha isikhundla sokuba ngumongameli ngemuva kokuphela kwesikhathi sikaMongameli wamanje, Sir Peter Gluckman, ngo-Okthoba 2026.
Ngesikhathi esifanayo, ingxenye yobulungu beBhodi Elibusayo yavuselelwa, kwajoyina amalungu amasha ayisikhombisa kanti ayisikhombisa ashintshana. IBhodi namaKomidi alo agcina ibhalansi yokumelwa kwezigwegwe, kwesifunda kanye nakwezobulili futhi abonakalisa kakhulu abacwaningi abasebasha nabasephakathi emsebenzini.
Izakhiwo zokubusa zalungiswa ngokuhambisana nemithetho ebuyekeziwe eyamukelwa ngo-2024. Ukwakheka kweKomidi Elihlala Njalo kwahlelwa kabusha ukuze kuqiniswe ukuqapha kanye nobuchwepheshe kuzo zonke izindawo ezibalulekile. Ikomidi Lokufinyelela Nokuzibandakanya lathathelwa indawo yiKomidi Elisha Lobulungu; Ikomidi Lezezimali, Ukuthobela Imithetho kanye Nengozi landiswa futhi lavuselelwa kakhulu; kanti iKomidi Lenkululeko Nomthwalo Wemfanelo Kwezesayensi nalo lenze izinguquko ezinkulu zesakhiwo.
Ukwakheka okuvuselelwe kwala maKomidi kugcina ukwehlukahlukana kwezifunda kanye nokwezigwegwe ngenkathi kuqinisa ubuchwepheshe obudingekayo ukusekela ukulethwa kwezinhlelo, ukuphathwa kwezezimali kanye nokubandakanyeka kwenqubomgomo. Kusukela ngo-2025 kuqhubeke, ingxenye yamalungu amaKomidi Ahlala Emi izoshintshana njalo eminyakeni emibili, iqinisekise ukuqhubeka ngenkathi igcina ukuvuselelwa kanye nokuhlukahluka kobuchwepheshe.
Iqembu Elisebenzayo elikhethekile mayelana nokubuyekezwa kwesakhiwo semali yobulungu liqhubeke nomsebenzi walo unyaka wonke, lakha izinketho zohlaka oluhlangene lwemali yobulungu. Ngemva kokubonisana naMalungu kanye nokwethulwa kwezimiso zokuqala eSigungwini Esijwayelekile, iQembu laletha izincomo kwiBhodi Elibusayo ngo-Okthoba 2025. Isiphakamiso sizothunyelwa kumalungu ngo-2026.
Ukwengezwa kwamalungu amasha ayishumi nambili, okuhlanganisa nezikole eziningana ezisencane, kuqinisa indima ye-ISC njengeplatifomu ekhombisa ukuhlukahluka komphakathi wesayensi womhlaba wonke. Ukufakwa kwezinhlangano zesayensi zakuqala nezaphakathi nomsebenzi kubaluleke kakhulu, okwenza inani lamalungu anjalo libe ngu-23 futhi kuqinise ukumelwa kwezizukulwane ezingxoxweni zesayensi zomhlaba wonke.
Okubaluleke kakhulu, amalungu awameli nje kuphela ngaphakathi kwe-ISC, kodwa ayathuthukiswa kakhulu ngayo. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ngokubamba iqhaza ezingxoxweni zomhlaba wonke, iminikelo emaqenjini ochwepheshe noma ukuzibandakanya ezinqubweni zenqubomgomo, ithonya loMkhandlu lincike emandleni alo okusebenzisa le nethiwekhi esatshalaliswe.
Inkululeko, umthwalo wemfanelo kanye nokubandakanywa kwesayensi
Ngo-2025, i-ISC yathuthukisa umsebenzi wayo ngenkululeko, umthwalo wemfanelo kanye nokubandakanywa kwesayensi ngenxa yokushintshashintsha komongo womhlaba wonke okuphawulwa ukwehla kokwethenjwa kwezikhungo, ukwanda kwengcindezi yezepolitiki emisebenzini yesayensi kanye nokungalingani okuqhubekayo ekufinyeleleni nasekuhlanganyeleni kwesayensi.
Kuzo zonke izinhlelo zayo, uMkhandlu kanye namaLungu awo babhekane nokukhathazeka okufanayo: izimo ezivumela isayensi ukuthi isebenze njengenzuzo yomphakathi womhlaba wonke zingaphansi kokucindezeleka. Ngokubambisana, baphishekela isinyathelo sokuvikela nokukhuthaza izisekelo ezincikene zezinhlelo zesayensi eziqinile: ukuvikela inkululeko yesayensi, ukuqinisa umthwalo wemfanelo kanye nokwandisa ukubamba iqhaza, ngenkathi kuqiniswa isikhundla soMkhandlu njengezwi elithembekile ezingxoxweni zomhlaba wonke mayelana nokubusa kwesayensi.
I-ISC ikhiqize incazelo entsha yelungelo lokubamba iqhaza nokuzuza kwisayensi. Le ncazelo icacisa ukuthi ilungelo lisho ukuthini ngokwemigomo yezikhungo kanye neyohlelo: ukufinyelela olwazini ngokulinganayo, ukubamba iqhaza okunenjongo ezinhlelweni zocwaningo, kanye nokuba khona kwezindawo ezivumela futhi zivikele umsebenzi wesayensi.
Amalungu asebenzisana nalolu hlaka njengesisekelo sokuzindla futhi, kwezinye izimo, ukuhlanganiswa emasu abo ezikhungo. Ukuvunyelwa yiRoyal Society Te Apārangi kubonisa indlela izikhungo zikazwelonke ezingahumusha ngayo indlela esekelwe emalungelweni ibe yindawo eqondile, zixhumanisa umsebenzi wesayensi ngokucacile nezibopho zomphakathi kanye nokuziphendulela komphakathi.
Lo msebenzi uphinde wavula amathuba okuzibandakanya komphakathi kabanzi. NgoDisemba 2025, amaseminari abanjelwe e-Aotearoa eNew Zealand ahlola inkululeko yesayensi ngokusobala njengelungelo lomuntu, aletha imibono yezomthetho, yezikhungo kanye neyesayensi engxoxweni. Lezi zingxoxo zagcizelela iphuzu elibalulekile: inkululeko yesayensi kanye nokubandakanywa kuyaxhomekeka, njengoba izithiyo zokubamba iqhaza zithinta ngqo ikhwalithi kanye nokuba semthethweni kwesayensi.
Indaba yokwethembana nesayensi yahlala ibalulekile unyaka wonke. I-ISC kanye namalungu ayo babhekane nale nkinga njengenselele yesakhiwo, ehlobene nendlela isayensi eqhutshwa ngayo, ehlolwa futhi edluliselwa ngayo.
UMkhandlu ugcizelele ukuthi ukwethembana kumele kusekelwe ngokuvuleleka, ukuqinisekiswa kwekhwalithi okuqinile, ukubamba iqhaza ngokulinganayo kanye nokuxhumana okucacile mayelana nokungaqiniseki kanye nemikhawulo.
Amalungu eKomidi Lenkululeko Nomthwalo Wemfanelo Kwezesayensi anikele kulolu hlelo ngokusebenzisa uchungechunge lwamabhulogi aphendula umbiko owashicilelwa ngemuva komhlangano wokufundisana ka-2024 mayelana “nokwethenjwa kwesayensi-nexus”, owabanjwa ngokubambisana ne-European Commission’s Joint Research Centre. Le minikelo ibeke i-ISC ezingxoxweni ezibanzi zomhlaba wonke mayelana nendlela izikhungo zesayensi ezingalondoloza ngayo ukwethembeka ezindaweni zolwazi eziphikisanayo.
Ngo-2025, i-ISC yahlanganisa umsebenzi owaqalwa ngo-2024 ngokulingana ngokobulili kwisayensi futhi yaqala Ukuthuthukisa Ukulingana Kobulili Ezinhlanganweni Zesayensi iphrojekthi ngokubambisana ne-InterAcademy Partnership kanye neKomidi Elihlala Likhona Lokulingana Ngobulili Kwezesayensi.
Le phrojekthi ihlelwe ngezici ezimbili ezihambisanayo. Okokuqala, inhlolovo yezikhungo zomhlaba wonke yasatshalaliswa ezikhungweni zesayensi kanye nasezinyunyaneni zesayensi zomhlaba wonke ukuze kuhlolwe ukumelwa nokubamba iqhaza kwabesifazane. Inhlolovo ihlole ukwakheka kwamalungu kanye nobuholi, izakhiwo zokubusa, izinqubo zokuqokwa kanye nokukhethwa, kanye nokuba khona kanye nomthelela wezinqubomgomo zokulingana. Izinhlangano ezingu-136 sezizonke zahlanganyela. Okwesibili, inhlolovo yomhlaba wonke yososayensi ngabanye yaqoqa izimpendulo ezingaphezu kuka-800, yanikeza ukuqonda okuhlangenwe nakho okuphilayo kokubamba iqhaza, izindlela zobuholi, isiko lenhlangano kanye nezithiyo ezibonwayo ngaphakathi kwezinhlangano zesayensi.
Ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuqina kwendlela yokusebenza, uMkhandlu wasungula iphaneli yochwepheshe ezimele enamalungu ayi-14 ekhethwe kubantu abangaphezu kuka-270 abazongenela ukhetho kulo lonke inethiwekhi ye-ISC. Iphaneli ihlinzeka ngokuqapha ukuhlaziywa kwedatha futhi inegalelo ekuthuthukisweni kwezincomo ezisekelwe ebufakazini.
UMkhandlu uphinde waqhubeka nokuzibandakanya komphakathi ngokulingana ngokobulili, okuhlanganisa neseshini ezinikele ngesikhathi seMuscat Global Knowledge Dialogue kanye nemisebenzi egubha uSuku Lwabesifazane Namantombazane Esayensini Lomhlaba Wonke ngomhlaka-11 kuNhlolanja 2025.
Lo msebenzi uholele embikweni Ukubhekela Ukulingana Kobulili Ezinhlanganweni Zesayensi, eyanyatheliswa ngoFebhuwari 2026.
I-ISC yaqhubeka nokwakha umsebenzi wayo nabacwaningi abasafufusa nabaphakathi nomsebenzi njengengxenye yomzamo wayo obanzi wokuqinisa ukuqina kanye nokubandakanya izinhlelo zesayensi.
Ngohlelo oluhlangene ne-China Association for Science and Technology (CAST), ososayensi abasebasha abangu-25 basekelwa ukubamba iqhaza kwi-ISC General Assembly eMuscat. Ithebula elizinikele lahlanganisa abahlanganyeli abangu-50 abavela kuwo wonke amalungu ukuze bahlole ukuthi abacwaningi abasafufusa basebenzisana kanjani nezinqubo zesayensi nenqubomgomo kanye nokubambisana kwamazwe ngamazwe.
Njengengxenye yohlelo oluhlangene ne-CAST, i-ISC yethule Ukucabanga Kabusha Ngemisebenzi Yesayensi Ezweni Elishintshayo, uchungechunge lwe-podcast olunezingxenye eziyisithupha olukhiqizwe ne-Nature. Lolu chungechunge luhlole ukuthi abacwaningi abasaqalayo nabaphakathi nomsebenzi bangakha kanjani imisebenzi enenjongo endaweni yocwaningo eshintsha ngokushesha.
Ukuzibandakanya okwengeziwe, okuhlanganisa nomhlangano wokufundisana ngesayensi eBeijing kanye nokubambisana nabalingani abanjengoGlobal Young Academy, iMarie Curie Alumni Association kanye ne-International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis, kufake isandla ekuqiniseni amanethiwekhi kanye namakhono phakathi kwabacwaningi abasebasha emsebenzini. Le mizamo ibeka isizukulwane esilandelayo hhayi nje kuphela njengabaholi besikhathi esizayo, kodwa futhi njengabahlanganyeli abakhuthele ekwakheni izinhlelo zesayensi ezibandakanyayo nezivumelana nezimo.
I-ISC igcine ukungenelela okuqondiwe ukuze kugcinwe ubuqotho besayensi futhi kuvikelwe izimo isayensi esebenza ngaphansi kwazo.
UMkhandlu ukhiphe umbono mayelana nokucaca kwezimali zocwaningo, ugcizelela isidingo sokudalulwa okucacile kwemithombo yezimali, ukungqubuzana kwezintshisekelo kanye namalungiselelo okuphatha. Izakhiwo zezimali ezicacile zethulwe njengesimo sesakhiwo somthwalo wemfanelo kanye nokwethenjwa komphakathi.
UMkhandlu uphinde washicilela isitatimende Ukubambisana Kwezesayensi Yomhlaba Wonke: Kubalulekile Kodwa Kusengozini, okwagcizelela indima ebalulekile yokubambisana kocwaningo lomhlaba wonke ngenkathi kudonsela ukunaka ekuchayekeni kwayo okwandayo ezingcindezini zezepolitiki nezomnotho. Kwadinga umthwalo wemfanelo ohlanganyelwe ekuvikeleni ingqalasizinda yesayensi ebambisene.
NgeKomidi layo Lenkululeko Nomthwalo Wemfanelo Kwezesayensi, i-ISC iphinde yaqhubeka nokuqapha amacala ngamanye lapho inkululeko yesayensi isengozini. Ukungenelela okuphawulekayo kuphathelene nokuqulwa kabusha kwecala lika-Andreas Georgiou, owayeyinhloko yehhovisi lezibalo laseGrisi. UMkhandlu uphinde waqinisekisa ukubaluleka kokuvikela ubuqotho bezibalo nokuvikela ochwepheshe abenza ngokuvumelana nezindinganiso zesayensi ekucindezelweni kwezepolitiki noma kwezomthetho. Lezi zenzo zibonisa ukuzibophezela okubanzi ekuvikeleni abacwaningi ngabanye kanye nezimo zezikhungo ezivumela isayensi ezizimele.
Ukusetha i-ajenda yesayensi yamazwe ngamazwe
Ngo-2025, i-ISC yaqhubeka nokusebenza njengeplatifomu yokuxhumanisa lapho amalungu ayo kanye neMibutho Ehambisanayo ifaka isandla khona ekuboneni, ekwakheni nasekuthuthukiseni ama-ajenda esayensi ahlanganyelwe. Lokhu kuhilela ukulinganisa iminikelo yokuqondisa, ukuphonsela inselelo izinhlaka ezibusayo kanye nokuvumelanisa imizamo yesayensi nezidingo zomhlaba wonke ezivelayo, ikakhulukazi esimweni sokuzinza kanye nokuphathwa komhlaba.
UMkhandlu uqinise indima yawo ekubekeni nasekubumbeni uhlelo lwesayensi lwamazwe ngamazwe ukuze kukhuthazwe ukuhambisana kanye nokusebenzisana kuzo zonke izigaba, izifunda kanye nemikhakha yenqubomgomo.
Imizamo yokwakha uhlelo lwamazwe ngamazwe ikhomba kakhulu ukungalingani kwesakhiwo: ngenkathi izinselele eziningi zomhlaba wonke zingezomphakathi, uxhaso lwezocwaningo kanye nezinhlaka zenqubomgomo eziqondisa izimpendulo zamazwe ngamazwe zihlala zinolwazi olungalingani yisayensi yezenhlalo kanye nezifundo zobuntu.
Ngenxa yalokho, i-ISC yethule uhlelo lwe-Social Science Matters Programme, oluhlose ukuqinisa indima yesayensi yezenhlalo kanye nezifundo zobuntu ezinqubweni zesayensi nenqubomgomo yamazwe ngamazwe. NgeQembu Eliqondisayo lososayensi bezenhlalo abaphambili kanye neNethiwekhi Yochwepheshe enabacwaningi nabachwepheshe ababalelwa ku-100 kuzo zonke izifunda kanye nemikhakha, Amalungu anikela ngolwazi, akha ukuxhumana kwemikhakha ehlukahlukene futhi asekele izindlela ezibanzi kakhulu zezinselelo eziyinkimbinkimbi kanye nezingxoxo zokuzinza.
Izindlela zokuqashelwa nazo zidlala indima ekwakheni lezi zinto eziza kuqala. Umklomelo waminyaka yonke we-Stein Rokkan uqaphela intuthuko ocwaningweni lwesayensi yezenhlalo oluqhathanisayo. Ngo-2025, ijaji laqaphela uVincente Valentim ngencwadi yakhe ethi The Normalization of the Radical Right: A Norms Theory of Political Supply and Demand, lichaza lokhu njengokubeka uphawu olusha locwaningo ngezepolitiki ezilwela amalungelo alinganayo.
Ukuthi inqubekela phambili ichazwa futhi ilinganiswa kanjani sekuyisikhathi eside kuyindaba ephindaphindayo ohlelweni lwesayensi lwamazwe ngamazwe. Izinkomba ezivamile ezifana ne-GDP, ezivame ukusetshenziswa ukuqondisa inqubomgomo kanye nokutshalwa kwezimali, zibhekwa njengezinganele ukubamba imingcele yemvelo, ukungalingani kwezenhlalo kanye nokuqina kwesikhathi eside.
Kulesi simo, umsebenzi wokuhlaziya ngezilinganiso zempilo unegalelo ekuhleleni kabusha izingxoxo eziqhubekayo. Ngo-2025, i-ISC kanye namaLungu ayo bahlanganyela ezingxoxweni zomhlaba wonke ngezilinganiso zentuthuko, ikakhulukazi imikhawulo yezinkomba ezivamile. Incwadi yokuhlaziya Silinganisa Kanjani Inhlalakahle? Ukucabanga Kabusha Ngenkomba Yokuthuthukiswa Kwabantu bahlole imikhawulo yomqondo kanye neyendlela yokusebenza yezilinganiso ezikhona, okuhlanganisa ikhono labo elilinganiselwe lokubhekana nokusimama kwemvelo, ukungalingani kanye nokuqina kwesikhathi eside.
Lo msebenzi wangena ezingxoxweni zenqubomgomo ezibanzi, okuhlanganisa neNgqungquthela Yesibili Yomhlaba Yentuthuko Yezenhlalo eyayibanjelwe eDoha ngoNovemba 2025. Engqungqutheleni, i-ISC yethule isitatimende egameni le-Scientific and Technological Community Major Group, igcizelela isidingo sokuhlanganiswa okuqinile kwesayensi namasu okuthuthukiswa kwezenhlalo kanye nokubambisana okuqhubekayo kwamazwe ngamazwe.
Ngesikhathi esifanayo, uMkhandlu wabamba umcimbi ohlangene noHlelo Lokuthuthukiswa KweZizwe Ezihlangene kanye noMkhandlu Wokuthuthukiswa Kocwaningo kanye Nokusungula Izinto Ezintsha waseQatar ogxile ezindleleni eziningi zempilo enhle. Lesi sigaba sibe negalelo emsebenzini weQembu Lochwepheshe Abaphezulu BeZizwe Ezihlangene mayelana Ne-GDP, okwenza kube lula ukushintshana phakathi kwezinhlangano zamazwe ngamazwe, izikhungo zocwaningo kanye nabadlali benqubomgomo ngezinselele zezindlela kanye nokusetshenziswa kwenqubomgomo.
Njengoba izinselele zomhlaba wonke ziba nzima kakhulu, imikhawulo yemizamo yocwaningo ehlukene iya ngokuya icaca. Lokhu kudale intshisekelo ekhulayo ezindleleni ezigxile emsebenzini ezivumelanisa umsebenzi wesayensi nezinhloso ezifanayo.
Ngo-2025, umsebenzi wesayensi egxile emisebenzini yokuthuthukiswa okusimeme wasuka ekwakhiweni komqondo waya ekuqalisweni kokuqaliswa kwe-Science Missions for Sustainability. Laba bahloli bahlanganisa izinhlangano ezisebenzisanayo ukuze zilethe izixazululo zasendaweni nezisebenzisekayo, zigcizelela ukwakhiwa ngokubambisana nabenzi bezinqubomgomo kanye nababambiqhaza kanye nokunqoba ukuhlukana phakathi kwemikhakha kanye nemikhakha.
Isinyathelo esibalulekile ekuthuthukisweni kwalolu hlobo kwakuwukuxhumana nabalingani bezimali. NgoMashi 2025, i-ISC yahlanganisa umhlangano eParis ne-UNESCO onesihloko esithi Ukunika Amandla Isayensi Eguqulayo Ukuze Kuthuthukiswe Okusimeme: Isicelo Kubaxhasi Besayensi, ukuhlanganisa abaxhasi kanye nabameleli bemisebenzi yokuhlola eyishumi nambili ekhethiwe. Izingxoxo zigxile ekuvumelaniseni izindlela zokuxhasa ngezimali nezidingo zocwaningo olugxile emisebenzini kanye nokubhekana nezingqinamba zesakhiwo ekuxhaseni ngezimali umsebenzi ohlanganisa imikhakha eyahlukene.
Ngo-2025, uhlelo lweSayensi Missions for Sustainability lwavunyelwa njengohlelo olusemthethweni lwe-United Nations International Decade of Sciences for Sustainable Development, oluphawula ukuqashelwa kwamandla alo njengendlela yokuletha izinhloso zokuzinza emhlabeni jikelele.
I-ISC iphinde yabeka lezi zindaba ezingxoxweni ezibanzi zezimali zomhlaba wonke. Engqungqutheleni yesine Yomhlaba Wonke Yokuxhasa Ngezimali Intuthuko, yafaka isandla ezingxoxweni ngendima yesayensi ohlelweni lokuxhasa ngezimali intuthuko. Ngemicimbi emibili eseceleni ehlelwe ngokubambisana nabalingani abahlanganisa i-UNESCO, i-Belmont Forum, i-Joint Research Centre ye-European Commission kanye noMnyango Wezomnotho Nezenhlalo Wezizwe Ezihlangene, uMkhandlu uhlole amamodeli okuxhasa ngezimali, okuhlanganisa izindlela eziqhutshwa yinjongo, ezezimali ezihlanganisiwe kanye nokubambisana okuqinile kwamazwe ngamazwe.
Ukuphathwa kwesimo sezulu kuyaqhubeka nokuchaza kokubili ukubaluleka kwesayensi kanye nezinselele zokuyifaka ngempumelelo kunqubomgomo.
Ngamalungu ayo kanye neMibutho Ehlobene, i-ISC yanikela enqubweni yesimo sezulu yeZizwe Ezihlangene ku-COP30, ngenhloso yokuqinisa indima yesayensi ezingxoxweni zesimo sezulu kanye nasekusetshenzisweni kwaso.
Ngokuhlanganisa kwayo iPlanetary Science Pavilion kanye nokuhlela kwayo kanye nokubamba iqhaza emicimbini eseceleni, uMkhandlu wenze lula ukushintshana phakathi kososayensi, abenzi bezinqubomgomo kanye nabasebenzi. Ngaphambi kwe-COP30, i-ISC kanye neMibutho yayo Ehambisanayo bakhiphe isitatimende becela ukubambisana okuqhubekayo kwesayensi yamazwe ngamazwe kanye nokusekelwa okuqinile kwezinhlelo zocwaningo. Ochwepheshe, okuhlanganisa ne-ISC Fellows, bagqugquzelwa ukusekela le mizamo.
Izinto ezibalulekile ezivele kulezi zingxoxo zazihlanganisa ukuqinisa izinhlelo zokubuka, ukuthuthukisa ucwaningo oluhlanganisa imikhakha eyahlukene, ukuhlanganisa ulwazi lwendawo nolwesipiliyoni, ukubhekana nolwazi olungamanga kanye nokuthuthukisa ingxoxo phakathi kwemiphakathi yesayensi neyenqubomgomo.
Ukubeka i-ajenda nakho kuhlotshaniswa nendlela imiphakathi yesayensi ehlanganiswa ngayo kuzo zonke izimo. Ngomhlaka-10 Novemba 2025, i-ISC yagubha uSuku Lwesayensi Lomhlaba Lokuthula Nentuthuko ngaphansi kwesihloko Ukwethembana, Ukuguqulwa, kanye Nekusasa: Isayensi Esiyidingayo Ngo-2050.
Esikhundleni sokuhlela umcimbi owodwa oyinhloko, uMkhandlu wahlanganisa inethiwekhi yawo yomhlaba wonke, okwaholela emicimbini engaphezu kuka-80 emhlabeni wonke eholwa amalungu, Fellows kanye nabalingani.
Lolu Suku lusebenza njengethuba laminyaka yonke lokuqinisekisa kabusha indima yesayensi ekuthuthukisweni kokuthula, intuthuko esimeme kanye nenhlalakahle yomphakathi. Imvelaphi yalo ibuyela emuva eNgqungqutheleni Yomhlaba Yesayensi ka-1999 eBudapest, eyahlelwa yi-UNESCO kanye noMkhandlu Wezesayensi Wamazwe Ngamazwe owandulela i-ISC. I-UNESCO yamemezela lolu Suku ngokusemthethweni ngo-2001, futhi kusukela lapho ibilokhu ikhuthaza izinhlelo zomhlaba wonke nezinhlelo ezihlose ukuqinisa isayensi njengesisekelo sentuthuko.
Ngale kwezinqubo zenqubomgomo ezisheshayo, uhlelo lwesayensi lwamazwe ngamazwe luhlelwa ngokwandayo ngezinhlaka zesikhathi eside ezenzelwe ukuhlanganisa ucwaningo esikhathini eside.
UMkhandlu kanye namaLungu awo, okuhlanganisa neKomidi Lesayensi Locwaningo Lwe-Antarctic kanye neKomidi Lesayensi Ye-Arctic Yomhlaba Wonke, banikele emsebenzini wokulungiselela uNyaka Wesi-5 We-Polar Womhlaba Wonke, beqinisekisa ukuhlanganiswa kwasekuqaleni kwezilinganiso zesayensi, zezokuthutha kanye nezezobunhloli. Kwenziwe imizamo yokuvumelanisa lezi zinhlelo nezinhlelo ezihlobene, njenge-Decade of Action for Cryospheric Sciences (2025–2034), ukunciphisa ukuhlukana nokuqinisa ukuhlanganiswa kwesayensi yezenhlalo kanye nezindlela ezihlanganisa izifundo ezahlukene.
Ukwethulwa koSuku Lomhlaba Lweziqhwa kanye neShumi Lesenzo Sezesayensi Ezishisayo kugcizelele ukuphuthuma kocwaningo oluhlanganisiwe mayelana ne-cryosphere ngokuqondene nokushintsha kwesimo sezulu. IShumi Lesenzo, elisekelwa yi-ISC, lihlose ukuqinisa izinhlelo zokubuka, ukuthuthukisa amandla okubikezela kanye nokwazisa amasu okunciphisa kanye nokuzivumelanisa nezimo ezindaweni ezisengozini.
I-International Decade of Sciences for Sustainable Development, eyamenyezelwa yi-United Nations General Assembly ngo-2023, ihlose ukukhuthaza indlela yesayensi ehlelekile nesebenzisanayo enikeza abenzi benqubomgomo ukuhlaziywa okusekelwe ebufakazini kanye nedatha ukusekela izinqubomgomo ezisebenzayo nezibandakanya wonke umuntu. I-ISC isebenza eKomidini Eliphethe Le Decade, futhi uhlelo lwayo lweSayensi lweMisebenzi Yokuzinza seluvunyelwe ngokusemthethweni ngaphansi kwalolu hlelo.
Amalungu e-ISC anikela ngolwazi emisebenzini eminingi. I-International Union of Pure and Applied Physics ihola i-Earth-Humanity Coalition; i-InterPore, ngokubambisana ne-ISC namanye amalungu, ihlela iminikelo yezikhungo zesayensi emigomweni yentuthuko eqhubekayo; i-International Union of Soil Sciences ihola i-Decade of Soil Sciences 2025-2034; i-International Union of Forest Research Organizations ishicilela ukuhlolwa kwenqubomgomo yesayensi yehlathi; kanye ne-International Cartographic Association ikhiqiza i-Atlas of Sustainability.
Ngo-2025, i-ISC yaqhubeka nokubambisana kwayo ne-Frontiers Research Foundation ukusekela i-Frontiers Planet Prize, eyamemezela i-2025 International Champions yayo. Lo Mklomelo uhlonipha ososayensi abacwaningo lwabo luhlinzeka ngezixazululo ezingalinganiswa emhlabeni wonke zokugcina isintu ngaphakathi kwemingcele yeplanethi. Ngokufaka isandla enkambisweni yokuqokwa kanye nokuqinisekiswa kwesayensi, i-ISC isiza ukuqinisekisa ububanzi bokuqondisa, ukuhlukahluka kwezindawo kanye nokuqina kwesayensi ekukhetheni abawinile.
Ukuvela kwezinhlelo zesayensi
Ubuthakathaka besakhiwo endleleni isayensi ehlelwe ngayo, ihlolwe futhi inikezwe ngayo izinsiza buyaqhubeka nokunciphisa ikhono layo lokuphendula ngempumelelo ezinseleleni zomhlaba wonke. Ngo-2025, i-ISC yathuthukisa uhlelo lomsebenzi oluhlose ukwakha kabusha izingxenye ezibalulekile zezinhlelo zesayensi, okuhlanganisa ukushicilela, ukuhlolwa kocwaningo, ukuguqulwa kwedijithali kanye nokuhlanganiswa kobuchwepheshe obusha.
NgeForamu yayo Yokunyathelisa Nokuhlola Ucwaningo, i-ISC yaqhubeka nokuhlanganisa abalingisi kulo lonke uhlelo locwaningo ukuze kuxazululwe ukungalingani kwesakhiwo endleleni ucwaningo olusatshalaliswa futhi luhlolwe ngayo. IForamu ihlanganisa ndawonye izikhungo zemfundo ephakeme, abaxhasi, abashicileli kanye nabacwaningi ukuze bahlele izinguquko ekunyatheliseni nasekuhloleni ucwaningo kanye nokubumba kabusha izakhiwo zesikhuthazo kulo lonke uhlelo locwaningo lomhlaba wonke.
Ngo-2025, kwasungulwa iQembu Eliqondisayo ukuze lixhumanise umsebenzi woMkhandlu wokushicilela nokuhlola ucwaningo, okubonisa ukuqashelwa kokuthi kokubili kulawulwa yizakhiwo zesikhuthazo ezincikene. Amamodeli akhona, avame ukuthembela ezinkombeni ezincane ze-bibliometric, ayaqhubeka nokuhlanekezela izinto eziza kuqala ocwaningweni futhi anciphise imikhakha ethile, izilimi nezifunda. Kunesidingo esikhulayo sezinkomba ezibamba kangcono ukukhiqizwa kwesayensi eNingizimu Yomhlaba, ucwaningo oluhlanganisa imikhakha eyahlukene kanye neyahlukene, umsebenzi wokubambisana kanye neminikelo yososayensi ezinqubweni zokwenza izinqubomgomo.
Ingqophamlando ebalulekile kwaba umhlangano wokufundisa owawubanjelwe ePisa ngo-Okthoba 2025, owahlelwa ngokubambisana neSimemezelo Sokuhlola Ucwaningo, iSikhungo Sezifundo Zesayensi Nobuchwepheshe kanye Nokusheshisa Isayensi Nokushicilelwa Kwebhayoloji. Umhlangano wahlanganisa ochwepheshe bamazwe ngamazwe kanye nezinhlelo zokuguqula ukuze kutholakale izindawo zokuhlangana nokuqinisa ukubambisana kuyo yonke imizamo eqhubekayo.
Ngalo msebenzi, i-ISC ikhuthaza ukushintshela ezindleleni ezisobala, ezifaka wonke umuntu futhi ezithinta umongo zokuhlola ucwaningo, kanye nokuqondanisa okukhulu phakathi kwendlela ulwazi olukhiqizwa, olusatshalaliswa ngayo kanye nendlela oluqashelwa ngayo.
Isayensi evulekile yaqhubeka nokuthola ukuthandwa njengengxenye ebalulekile yezinhlelo zesayensi ezilinganayo nezisebenzayo. Iyaqondakala ngokwengeziwe njengesimo sesakhiwo sokubamba iqhaza, ukucaca kanye nokubambisana.
Ngo-2025, iBhodi Elilulekayo Lezesayensi likaNobhala-Jikelele weZizwe Ezihlangene lamukela isitatimende esibalulekile ngesayensi evulekile, liqinisa izibopho zomhlaba wonke zokufinyeleleka, ukucaca kanye nokwabelana ngolwazi. I-ISC yamukele lesi ntuthuko futhi yaqhubeka nokushicilela okuvamile kwayo Isifinyezo Sesayensi Evulekile, uchungechunge lwamanothi okufingqa ahleliwe alandelela futhi ahlanganisa intuthuko yomhlaba wonke kwezesayensi evulekile. Kusatshalaliswa nge-newsletter ezinikele futhi kushicilelwe kuwebhusayithi ye-ISC, lawa mafingqa asiza amalungu ukuthi ahlale enolwazi mayelana nezinhlaka zenqubomgomo ezishintshayo, imikhuba emihle kanye nezinselele zokusebenzisa.
Lokhu kuzibandakanya kuhambisana nohlelo olubanzi loMkhandlu lokuguqula izinto. Ukuhlanganyela ngokulinganayo ekukhiqizweni kolwazi, izinqubo zocwaningo olusobala kanye nokufinyeleleka okuthuthukisiwe emiphumeleni yesayensi kuyizinto eziyisisekelo zezinhlelo zesayensi eziqinile nezibandakanya wonke umuntu.
UMkhandlu uphinde wahlela i-webinar Ukuba Nolwazi Lwethu: Izindlela Ezingezona Ezentengiselwano Zokushicilela Okuvulelekile ngesikhathi se-International Open Access Week ngo-Okthoba 2025. Lo mcimbi ubonise izindlela zokushicilela eziholwa ngumphakathi neziqhutshwa yizazi, eziqukethe amapulatifomu amasha njenge-SciELO South Africa, i-Érudit kanye ne-Royal Society Subscribe to Open initiative.
Ukuhlanganiswa okukhulayo kobuhlakani bokwenziwa (AI) ezinhlelweni zocwaningo kushintsha indlela ulwazi olukhiqizwa ngayo, oludluliselwa ngayo, olufinyelelwa ngayo nolulawulwa ngayo. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, kudalula futhi, kwezinye izimo, kukhulisa ukungalingani okukhona phakathi kwezifunda nezikhungo.
Ngo-2025, umsebenzi wokuhlaziya nge-AI ezindaweni zemvelo zocwaningo lukazwelonke wagxila kakhulu kulezi zimo ezingafani. Ukuhlaziywa kwenqubomgomo okwandisiwe kwaqokomisa ukungalingani kwengqalasizinda, ukufinyelela idatha kanye namandla okulawula, ikakhulukazi okuthinta amazwe aseNingizimu Yomhlaba. Okutholakele kwagcizelela ingozi yokuthi izinguquko eziqhutshwa yi-AI zingakhulisa ukungalingani okukhona uma kungaphelezelwa ukubusa okubandakanya wonke umuntu kanye nemizamo yokwakha amandla.
Ukuze kuhambisane nalo msebenzi, i-ISC yethule uchungechunge lwezinhlelo zokuqala ze-AI ezenzelwe ukuhlomisa izinhlangano zesayensi kanye nabenzi bezinqubomgomo ngesiqondiso esitholakala kalula nesisekelwe ebufakazini ngokuhlanganiswa kwe-AI. Ndawonye, lezi ziphumo zibeka i-ISC njengendawo yokubhekisela yezindlela ezilinganiselayo nezinolwazi emhlabeni jikelele zokwamukelwa kwe-AI ngaphakathi kwezinhlelo zesayensi.
I-ISC iphinde yabiza izingxoxo ngomthelela wobuchwepheshe obusha kwisayensi eNingizimu Yomhlaba, yaqokomisa ukuthi ukungalingani okukhona engqalasizinda, ukuxhaswa ngezimali kanye nokubusa kungakhuliswa kanjani. Yagcizelela ukuthi ukuhlanganiswa kwamazwe ngamazwe, ukubusa okubandakanya wonke umuntu kanye nokutshalwa kwezimali okuqhubekayo kubalulekile ukuqinisekisa ukuthi lobu buchwepheshe buqinisa, kunokuba buhlukanise, ukubambisana kwesayensi yomhlaba wonke.
Ngaphandle kobuchwepheshe obuthile, ikhono lezinhlangano zesayensi lokuzivumelanisa noshintsho lwedijithali alilingani. Izikhungo eziningi zibhekene nezingqinamba hhayi nje kuphela engqalasizinda yezobuchwepheshe, kodwa futhi nakumakhono, izinhlaka zokubusa kanye nokuqondiswa kwamasu.
Iqaphela ukuthi ukulungela izikhungo kuyimfuneko yokuguqulwa kwedijithali okuphumelelayo, i-ISC yethule uhlelo lwe-Digital Journeys lokusekela izinhlangano zesayensi ekuthuthukiseni amakhono edijithali.
Ngokwakhela phezu kocwaningo lwangaphambilini lwamalungu e-ISC, lolu hlelo lunikeze ukuqeqeshwa okuklanyelwe kanye nokuthuthukiswa kwamakhono eqenjini lokuhlola lamalungu emazweni anengeniso ephansi nephakathi, kanye nokuthuthukiswa kwamathuluzi nezinhlaka ezisebenzayo. Imiphumela ekhishwe ngo-2025 yayihlanganisa i-Digital Maturity Compass, isiqondiso sokumapha uhambo lomsebenzisi kanye nethuluzi lokuhlela imihlangano elenzelwe ukusiza izinhlangano ukuthi zisebenzise ubuchwepheshe bedijithali ngempumelelo.
Isayensi yokwenza inqubomgomo yomhlaba wonke
Ukuhlanganiswa kobufakazi besayensi ezinqubweni zenqubomgomo yomhlaba wonke kusalokhu kungalingani, kubumbeke ukuhlukana kwezikhungo kanye namazinga ahlukahlukene okufinyelela kobuchwepheshe. Ngaphakathi kwalesi simo, indima yabalamuli abakwazi ukuxhumanisa imiphakathi yesayensi nezinhlelo zokwenza izinqumo iye yaba yinto ebaluleke kakhulu.
Kuzo zonke izinqubo eziningi, i-ISC kanye namaLungu ayo basebenze ngaphakathi kwalesi sikhala, begxile ekuqiniseni ukuxhumana kwezikhungo, bekhiqiza imiphumela ehlobene nenqubomgomo kanye nokwenza kube lula ukufinyelela kobuchwepheshe besayensi kuzo zonke izinqubo ezibalulekile zomhlaba wonke ukuze bazise inqubomgomo ngendlela eqhubekayo nangempumelelo.
I-ISC igcine ukuba khona okusebenzayo kuzo zonke izinkundla ezinkulu zeZizwe Ezihlangene, isebenza ukusuka ekufakweni kwesayensi okungahleliwe iye ekubandakanyekeni okuhlelekile nokuqhubekayo. Ngokusebenzisa imiphumela eqondiwe, ukubambisana kwezikhungo kanye nokuxhumana ngqo nabenzi bezinqubomgomo, uMkhandlu ufune ukufaka isayensi ngokuqhubekayo ngaphakathi kwezinhlelo zezinqubomgomo zamazwe amaningi.
Engqungqutheleni Yesayensi, Ubuchwepheshe kanye Nokusungula Izinto Ezintsha YeZizwe Ezihlangene ka-2025, uMkhandlu waphakamisa izingxoxo zokuthi isayensi ingazisiza kanjani ngempumelelo izingxoxo zenqubomgomo yomhlaba wonke, wagcizelela ukuguqulwa kwesistimu, ucwaningo olugxile emisebenzini kanye nokubamba iqhaza okubandakanya wonke umuntu. I-ISC yaphikisana ngokuthi ukufaka isandla kwesayensi kumele kudlule ukubonisana ngezikhathi ezithile kuye ekubandakanyekeni okuhlelekile nokuqhubekayo ngaphakathi kwezinqubo zamazwe amaningi.
Engqungqutheleni Yezepolitiki Esezingeni Eliphezulu ka-2025 (i-HLPF), i-ISC yabiza ososayensi ukuthi bahlanganyele ezingxoxweni zababambiqhaza abaningi mayelana nenqubekela phambili eya ku-Ajenda ka-2030 endimeni yayo njengosihlalo ohlangene weQembu Elikhulu Lomphakathi Wezesayensi Nobuchwepheshe. Iminyaka Emihlanu Yokuba Inkambo Ifanele, ukuhlola umzila wemizamo yentuthuko esimeme kanye nokuhlonza izindlela ezisekelwe ebufakazini zokusheshisa. Usuku Lwesayensi e-HLPF lunikeze ipulatifomu yemibono yesayensi ehlanganisiwe futhi lwaqokomisa izikhala eziqhubekayo phakathi kwesifiso nokuqaliswa. Ngesikhathi seForamu, i-ISC iphinde yabambisana nohlelo lwe-Academic Impact loMnyango Wezokuxhumana Womhlaba Wonke lwe-United Nations lwe-Global Higher Education Symposium, behlola indima yemfundo ephakeme ekubhekaneni nezinselele zomhlaba wonke kanye nokuqinisa umnikelo wesayensi nolwazi emphakathini.
Le mizamo yahambisana nokuzibandakanya ngqo kwezombusazwe. Unyaka wonke, ubuholi be-ISC, okuhlanganisa noMongameli okhethiwe kanye namalungu eBhodi Elibusayo, babambe imihlangano ecishe ibe ngu-25 yamazwe amabili eNew York nabameleli abaphezulu be-Permanent Missions, izinhlangano ze-United Nations kanye nezinhlangano ezisebenzisana nabo. Izingxoxo zazihilela abameleli abavela eJapan, eBelgium, eNdiya, eJamaica, eTuvalu, eNetherlands, eNingizimu Afrika, eFrance, eCanada kanye ne-European Union, kanye nezinhlangano ezihlanganisa i-United Nations University, uMnyango Wezomnotho Nezenhlalo We-United Nations, i-UNESCO, i-Scholar Rescue Fund kanye ne-Scholars at Risk. Lezi zingxoxo zaqinisa ubudlelwano namazwe angamalungu kanye nabalingani bezikhungo, zasekela ukuvumelana nezinqubo ze-United Nations futhi zaqinisa isikhundla se-ISC njengomxhumanisi othembekile esibonakalayo sesayensi nenqubomgomo.
Ngokwesikhungo, ukusayinwa kweMemorandamu Yokuqondana phakathi kwe-ISC kanye neHhovisi Lezizwe Ezihlangene Lokunciphisa Ingozi Yezinhlekelele kuqinise ukubambisana kwesayensi yezingozi zezinhlekelele kanye nokuqonda izingozi.
Ukubandakanyeka kwamalungu kwahlala kubalulekile kulo msebenzi. Kuzo zonke izinqubo zeZizwe Ezihlangene, i-ISC yasebenzisa amalungu ayo ukuhlonza nokuhlanganisa ubuchwepheshe, ukuthuthukisa imibono ehlobene nenqubomgomo nokuqinisekisa ukuthi iminikelo ibonisa isisekelo esibanzi sokuqondisa, sesifunda nesezikhungo. Amalungu anikele ngokuqokwa kochwepheshe, amaqembu abeluleki, izinhlolovo, ukubonisana, izifundo zamacala kanye nokubamba iqhaza ekuthunyelweni nasemicimbini. Lokhu kwakuhlanganisa ukuqokwa kolwandle, ipulasitiki, i-Biological Weapons Convention kanye ne-Hazard Information Profiles workstreams; iminikelo evela kumalungu angaphezu kuka-30 enkambisweni yesifundo samacala se-HLPF sika-2025; ukubamba iqhaza kwezinhlangano zamalungu ezingaphezu kuka-130 ekuhleleni imisebenzi yezeluleko zesayensi; kanye nokuzibandakanya ocwaningweni ngezinto eziza kuqala ze-diplomacy yesayensi kanye nezidingo zamandla esayensi-inqubomgomo. Lokhu kwaqinisekisa ukuthi umsebenzi wenqubomgomo yoMkhandlu uhlala usekelwe ngokuqinile olwazini nasezintweni eziza kuqala zobulungu bawo.
Izinhlelo zenqubomgomo ezinolwazi nazo zincike ekufinyeleleni ezinhlakeni zokweluleka emazingeni aphezulu.
Njengelungu lolwazi lenethiwekhi yeBhodi Yokweluleka Yesayensi (SAB) kaNobhala-Jikelele weZizwe Ezihlangene, i-ISC yaqhubeka nokufaka isandla emsebenzini weBhodi nokuqinisa ukuxhumana kwayo nomphakathi wesayensi womhlaba wonke. UMkhandlu wasekela izinqubo zokubeka i-ajenda, wahlonza ochwepheshe abavela kumalungu awo ukuthi bafake isandla ematafuleni nasezingxoxweni ze-SAB, kanye nemizamo yokuskena indawo ngokusebenzisa inhlolovo yomhlaba wonke mayelana nentuthuko yesayensi nobuchwepheshe ebaluleke kakhulu edinga ukunakwa kweZizwe Ezihlangene. Yaphinde yahola ukulungiswa kwesitatimende ngesayensi evulekile esasungulwa ngemuva komhlangano we-SAB ka-2025, owawuhanjelwe nguMongameli okhethiwe we-ISC.
Kulesi simo, uMkhandlu wamukele umyalezo ovela ku-António Guterres oqinisekisa ukubaluleka kweseluleko sesayensi esizimele ngaphakathi kohlelo lweZizwe Ezihlangene:
"I-International Science Council iyibhuloho elibalulekile phakathi kwesayensi nenqubomgomo, elixhumanisa abacwaningi nomsebenzi wabenzi bezinqumo bomhlaba wonke."
Ngale kokufinyelela kobuchwepheshe, ukusebenza kahle kokuxhumana kwesayensi nenqubomgomo kuncike ekusetshenzisweni nasekuhlobaneni kokufakwa kwesayensi.
Ukuze kuqiniswe ikhono lezinhlelo zenqubomgomo lokubhekana nezinselele zesikhathi eside neziyinkimbinkimbi, i-ISC yashicilela ngokubambisana I-Futures Thinking kanye ne-Strategic Foresight in Action: Imibono evela ku-Global South ne-United Nations Futures Lab/Global Hub. Ngokusebenzisa izifundo eziyi-14 ezivela ezifundeni nasemikhakha eyahlukene, umbiko uhlole ukuthi izindlela zokubona kusengaphambili zisetshenziswa kanjani ukwazisa ukwenza izinqumo ezindaweni ezihlanganisa ukumelana nesimo sezulu, izinhlelo zokudla, ukubusa kwedijithali kanye nokuvikelwa komphakathi.
Le ncwadi iqokomise izindlela ezahlukahlukene, okuhlanganisa ukuskena kwe-horizon, ukuthuthukiswa kwezimo kanye nezindlela zokubamba iqhaza, futhi yahlonza izigaba eziyisishiyagalombili zomthelela, kusukela ekusungulweni kwenqubomgomo kanye noshintsho lwezikhungo kuya ekuhlanganisweni kolwazi lwabantu bomdabu nolwendawo. Ngokubonisa okuhlangenwe nakho okuvela eNingizimu Yomhlaba, umbiko ubhekane nokungalingani okuqhubekayo ezingxoxweni zokubona kusengaphambili komhlaba wonke futhi wabonisa ukubaluleka kwezindlela eziqondene nomongo, ezibandakanyayo nezigxile esenzweni. Iphinde yaphakamisa izincomo zokuqinisa ukusetshenziswa kokubona kusengaphambili ekwenzeni inqubomgomo nokusekela izinhlelo zokuphatha ezilindelekile neziqinile.
Ingqungquthela Yezizwe Ezihlangene Yolwandle ka-2025 (i-UNOC-3) inikeze ithuba lokusebenzisa ukuzibandakanya kwenqubomgomo okusekelwe kwisayensi esimweni esivelele. I-ISC inikele ngemininingwane yesayensi, imiphumela egxile kwinqubomgomo kanye nokuzibandakanya okuqondiswe kubenzi benqubomgomo kanye nabezindaba.
Lo msebenzi usekelwe yiQembu Lochwepheshe be-ISC on Ocean, elasungulwa ngokuqokwa kwamalungu kanye nenethiwekhi futhi lahlanganisa ubuchwepheshe obuvela kwisayensi yolwandle, isayensi yesimo sezulu, isayensi yezenhlalo kanye nocwaningo lokuzinza kuzo zonke izifunda.
Ngaphambi kweNgqungquthela, uMkhandlu ukhiphe umhlangano wesayensi ochaza izinto eziza kuqala ekuzinzeni kolwandle, ugcizelela ucwaningo lwamazwe ngamazwe oluhlelekile, ukuphathwa okusekelwe kuhlelo lwemvelo kanye nokufinyelela ngokulinganayo kolwazi lwasolwandle. Umhlangano wenqubomgomo ohambisana nawo uhumushe okutholakele kwesayensi kwaba izincomo ezisebenzisekayo kohulumeni kanye nababambiqhaza. Ngochungechunge lweminikelo yokuhlaziya, i-ISC igcizelele isidingo sokuvala igebe lesenzo ngokuphathwa kolwandle okubandakanyayo nokusekela isayensi, ukucabangela kabusha amamodeli okuxhaswa ngezimali kwesayensi yolwandle kanye nokuxhumanisa, nokuqinisekisa ukuthi izinhlaka zokubusa zilingana futhi zimele umhlaba wonke.
Engqungqutheleni, i-ISC isekele ithimba lososayensi abangu-40 futhi yenza kwaba lula ukufinyelela kobuchwepheshe obuvela kuyo yonke inethiwekhi yayo ngokuthuthukiswa nokusatshalaliswa kohlu lochwepheshe bolwandle oluhlanganisa imikhakha eminingi. Ukuzibandakanya okukhulu kwabezindaba, okuhlanganisa nesithangami sabezindaba esihlelwe neScience Media Centre, kwaveza amathuba okuxoxisana nochwepheshe kanye nokubikwa kwezindaba ezindaweni ezinkulu zomhlaba wonke, okuhlanganisa The Times kanye ne-BBC.
I-ISC iqhubekile nokuzibandakanya kwayo ezingxoxweni zeSivumelwano Somhlaba Wonke Sokwenziwa Kwepulasitiki, inikela ngemibono yesayensi ngokuphawula, ukuhlaziya kanye nokumela. Iqembu layo lochwepheshe elizinikele, elasungulwa ngokuqokwa kwamalungu, lahlanganisa ubuchwepheshe obuhlukahlukene obuvela emphakathini wonke we-ISC, okuhlanganisa ochwepheshe abaxhumene ne-Global Young Academy, iKomidi Lesayensi Locwaningo Lwezilwandle, iKomidi Lesayensi Locwaningo Lwe-Antarctic kanye ne-International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry.
Ngemva kwemiphumela edumazayo yomzuliswano wesihlanu wezingxoxo (INC-5), uMkhandlu uphinde wagcizelela isidingo sezibopho eziqinile nezisekelwe kwisayensi ezibhekene nomjikelezo wokuphila wepulasitiki. Iqembu lochwepheshe liphinde lashicilela ukuphawula ku Ukusimama Kwemvelo bephikisana ngokuthi ukusebenza kahle kwesivumelwano sesikhathi esizayo kuzoncika ekufakeni isiqondiso sesayensi esizimele, esisekelwe ebufakazini kulo lonke ukwakhiwa kanye nokusetshenziswa kwaso.
Ukusebenzisana kwesayensi nenqubomgomo kuncike nasezinkombeni zobuchwepheshe ezabiwe ezivumela ukuhlanganiswa kuzo zonke izikhungo kanye nemikhakha.
Amaphrofayili Olwazi Lwezingozi Olubuyekeziwe (ama-HIP) ahlinzeka ngezincazelo ezihlanganisiwe nezisekelwe kwezesayensi kanye nokuhlukaniswa kwezingozi ezihlobene nokunciphisa izingozi zezinhlekelele. Ngokuqinisa ukuvumelana phakathi kokuqonda kwesayensi kanye nezinhlaka zenqubomgomo, ama-HIP asekela indlela enezingozi eziningi ebalulekile ezinhlelweni zokuxwayisa kusenesikhathi, ukuhlela okuphuthumayo kanye nokumelana nezinhlekelele.
Ukubuyekezwa kuka-2025 kwahlanganisa iminikelo evela kulo lonke uhlelo lweZizwe Ezihlangene, emkhakheni ozimele kanye nomphakathi wesayensi, okuhlanganisa Amalungu e-ISC kanye neMibutho Ehlobene efana ne-Integrated Research on Disaster Risk Programme, i-IUPAC, i-International Union of Soil Sciences, i-Scientific Committee on Problems of the Environment, i-Komidi Locwaningo Lwesikhala, i-International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics, i-International Statistical Institute kanye ne-Global Land Programme. Ochwepheshe abangaphezu kuka-200 banikele ngqo ekubuyekezweni futhi abasebenzisi nababuyekezi abangaphezu kwe-100 bahlanganyele ekuhlolweni nasekuthuthukisweni.
Ama-HIP e-UNDRR-ISC abuyekeziwe aqaliswa e-Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction eGeneva ngoJuni 2025. Manje asetshenziswa ezinhlelweni ezinkulu zamazwe ngamazwe, okuhlanganisa i-UNDRR Disaster Loss and Damages Tracking and Analysis System kanye ne-Global Disaster-Related Statistics Framework, eyavunywa yi-United Nations Statistical Commission ngoMashi 2026.
I-ISC iphinde yabhekana nezinselele zokuphepha ezivelayo ngomsebenzi wayo ku-Biological Weapons Convention (BWC), ihlola ukuthi izinhlaka zokubusa zingahambisana kanjani nentuthuko esheshayo ku-biotechnology. Ngezincwadi kanye nezingxoxo zesayensi nenqubomgomo engakahleleki nabameli, uMkhandlu uhlole imiphumela yentuthuko yesayensi nezobuchwepheshe ekubusweni kwezokuphepha komhlaba wonke.
Lo msebenzi waziswa yiqembu lochwepheshe elalihlanganisa ochwepheshe abaqokwe ngenethiwekhi ye-ISC, okuhlanganisa ochwepheshe abaxhumene nezinhlangano ezifana neNational Research Council of the Philippines, i-Academy of Scientific Research and Technology, i-Indian National Science Academy, i-Islamic World Academy of Sciences kanye ne-Global Young Academy. I-ISC igcizelele ukubaluleka kokuqinisa izindlela zokweluleka zesayensi ngaphakathi kohlaka lwe-BWC ukuqinisekisa ukuthi izimpendulo zenqubomgomo zihlala zihambisana noshintsho lwezobuchwepheshe futhi zisekele ukufinyelela okulinganayo kolwazi lwesayensi emhlabeni jikelele.
Iqaphela ukuthi ukusebenzisana okuphumelelayo kwesayensi nenqubomgomo kuncike emandleni kanye nasezinhlakeni zezikhungo, i-ISC, ngokubambisana ne-International Network for Governmental Science Advice, yathuthukisa ukuthuthukiswa kohlelo lokuqeqesha ngeseluleko sesayensi kunqubomgomo.
Uhlelo lwasekelwa ukubandakanyeka okukhulu kwamalungu. Ucwaningo lokuhlolwa kwezidingo lwango-2024 kulo lonke inethiwekhi ye-ISC lwembule isidingo esikhulu samandla amakhulu omuntu ngamunye kanye nawezikhungo ekwelulekeni kwesayensi, ikakhulukazi ezimweni zikazwelonke. Ngo-2025, lokhu kwagcwaliswa ngokudwetshwa kwemisebenzi yenqubomgomo yesayensi kanye nezinsiza ezinhlanganweni ezingaphezu kuka-130 zamalungu, umhlangano wokufundisa ozinikele ngesikhathi seMuscat Global Knowledge Dialogue kanye neThird General Assembly, kanye nokusungulwa kwe-ISC-INGSA Member Advisory Group ukuqondisa okuqukethwe kohlelo, ukufaneleka kanye nokuqaliswa kwalo.
Idiplomacy yesayensi
Ngo-2025, i-ISC yaqinisa ukuzibandakanya kwayo kwezobudlelwano besayensi njengendlela esebenzayo yokubambisana kwamazwe ngamazwe kanye namandla okuzinza esimweni sokungezwani kwezepolitiki. Indlela yayo igxile ekugcineni iziteshi ezivulekile zokubambisana kwesayensi, ukuqinisa ukuxhumana phakathi kwemiphakathi yesayensi neyezobudlelwano kanye nokusekela ukuhlanganyela okulinganayo ezinqubweni zesayensi yomhlaba wonke kanye nenqubomgomo.
Njengoba ukuhlukana kwezepolitiki kukhula, indima yesayensi njengendlela yokuzibandakanya kwamanye amazwe ithole ukubaluleka okusha. Ukubambisana kwesayensi kunikeza enye yezindawo ezimbalwa lapho ingxoxo ingaqhubeka khona ngaphesheya kwemingcele yezepolitiki.
I-ISC inegalelo ezingxoxweni ezisezingeni eliphezulu ngesimo somhlaba wonke sesayensi yezobudlelwano, okuhlanganisa nokuzibandakanya mayelana ne-UNESCO Global Ministerial Dialogue, lapho isayensi yezobudlelwano ivele khona kakhulu. Ngokusebenzisa imibono yenqubomgomo kanye nemihlangano, uMkhandlu ugcizelele isidingo sokuqinisa ukuxhumana phakathi kwemiphakathi yesayensi kanye nabadlali bezobudlelwano, ikakhulukazi ngezikhathi zobudlelwano bamazwe ngamazwe obungebuhle.
UMongameli we-ISC ucele obala ukuthi kube nokuxhumana okuqinile kwesayensi, egcizelela ukuthi ukubambisana kwesayensi kumele kuhlale kuvulekile futhi kuvikelwe ngisho nalapho ubudlelwano bezepolitiki buyinkimbinkimbi. UMkhandlu uphikise ngokuthi ukushintshana kwesayensi okuqhubekayo kusekela ukwakha ukuthula, kunciphisa ukungaqondi kahle futhi kunegalelo ezinqubweni ezisekelwe ebufakazini.
Ukuze iqondise indlela yayo yamasu, i-ISC yethule inhlolovo yomhlaba wonke mayelana nesayensi yezobudlelwano, iqoqa imibono evela kuMalungu kanye nabalingani ngezinto eziza kuqala, izikhala kanye nezidingo ezivelayo. Okutholakele kusetshenziselwa ukwakha izinhlelo zesikhathi esizayo, kugxilwe ezindleleni zokusekela eziqondiwe kanye nokuxhumana okuqinile kuzo zonke izifunda kanye nemikhakha.
Ngaphandle kokumela okuvamile, imizamo ka-2025 igxile ekuqondeni kangcono indlela isayensi yezobunhloli eqhutshwa ngayo kuzo zonke izifunda kanye nalapho kusenezikhala khona.
E-Science Forum South Africa, i-ISC inikele ochungechungeni lwezingxoxo ezisezingeni eliphezulu mayelana nezinhlelo zesayensi ezibandakanya wonke umuntu nezilungele ikusasa, kugxilwe kakhulu ekukhulumeni ngesayensi. Omunye weminikelo eyinhloko yoMkhandlu kwaba yiseshini Isayensi njengoMakhi Webhuloho: Indima Yesayensi Yezokuxhumana Ekukhuthazeni Ukubambisana Komhlaba Wonke Okubandakanyayo Ezinseleleni EzihlanganyelweIseshini ihlole ukuthi isayensi yezobunhloli ishintsha kanjani esimweni sokungezwani kwezepolitiki, ukuphazamiseka kwezobuchwepheshe kanye nokufinyelela okungalingani kwisayensi.
Kuhlanganise imibono evela e-Afrika nangale kwayo ukuze kuhlolwe ukuthi isayensi ingaqhubeka kanjani nokusebenza njengenzuzo yomphakathi yomhlaba wonke nokuthi izinhlangano zesayensi ezingekho ngaphansi kukahulumeni zingakusekela kanjani ukubambisana kwamazwe ngamazwe okulinganayo.
I-ISC iphinde yabiza iseshini ngobuchwepheshe obusafufusa futhi yabamba iqhaza kumaphaneli aholwa ngabalingani ngesayensi yezobudlelwano kanye nokusekelwa kwabacwaningi base-Afrika abasebasha emsebenzini. Kuyo yonke le mihlangano, uMkhandlu wathuthukisa izinto eziza kuqala ezihlobene nokufinyelela ngokulinganayo kwisayensi, ukusungula izinto ezintsha okunesibopho kanye nokuqinisa ukubambisana kwamazwe ngamazwe, ngenkathi unikela ngemibono evela ekubonisaneni kwawo komhlaba wonke ezingxoxweni eziqhubekayo zesifunda nezamazwe ngamazwe.
Iqaphela ukungalingani okuqhubekayo emandleni okuxhumana kwezesayensi, ikakhulukazi ezifundeni ezinengeniso ephansi nephakathi, i-ISC yasekela imizamo yokwakha amandla eqondiwe.
UMkhandlu unikele ezinhlelweni ezihlose ukuqinisa ubuchwepheshe besayensi, ubuchwepheshe kanye nokusungula izinto ezintsha (STI) ngaphakathi kwemisebenzi yase-Afrika eya eNhlanganweni Yezizwe. Ngokusebenzisana okuqondisiwe kanye nengxoxo, usekele imizamo yokuthuthukisa ikhono lemisebenzi yezombusazwe lokubamba iqhaza ngempumelelo ezingxoxweni ezihlobene nesayensi kanye nezingxoxo zenqubomgomo.
I-ISC iphinde yasebenzisa ubukhona bayo eNew York ukuze ibambisane ne-Coalition on STI for Africa's Development, eholwa yiMorocco kanye noMnyango Wezomnotho Nezenhlalo Wezizwe Ezihlangene, ukuze inikeze umhlangano wokwakha amandla wabameli bezombusazwe. Lo mhlangano uhlole indima yesayensi ekuthuthukisweni futhi waqokomisa iminikelo ehambisanayo yososayensi nabameli bezombusazwe ekukhuthazeni ukubambisana kwamazwe ngamazwe kanye nokwenza izinqumo ezinolwazi ngezinselele zomhlaba wonke ezihlanganyelwe.
Ubukhona besifunda
Ngo-2025, i-ISC yaqinisa ukuzibandakanya kwayo kwesifunda ukuqinisekisa ukuba khona kwesifunda okuphelele, ukuxhumanisa kangcono imiphakathi yesayensi yendawo nezinqubo zomhlaba wonke nokuqinisekisa ukuthi izinhlelo zesayensi zimelela kakhulu futhi zisabela ezimweni ezahlukahlukene. Kuzo zonke izifunda, ukugxila kwakuwukuhlanganisa ukuba khona kwezikhungo, ukusekela ukwakha amandla kanye nokuqinisa ukuxhumana kwesayensi nenqubomgomo.
I-ISC Regional Focal Point for Latin America and the Caribbean (ISC RFP–LAC) yangena esigabeni sokuhlanganiswa kwezikhungo ngo-2025, yathuthukisa umsebenzi wayo wokuqinisa izinhlelo zesayensi zesifunda nokuqinisekisa ukuthi imibono yaseLatin America naseCaribbean ihlanganiswa nenqubomgomo yomhlaba wonke. Ngaphansi kobuholi obusha futhi iqondiswa yi-Regional Action Plan (2025–2028) eyamukelwe ngamalungu, i-ISC RFP–LAC yashintshela kumodeli yokuphatha ebandakanya kakhulu, isebenzisa amakomidi amane akhethekile ukuze aqhube isenzo sesifunda.
Insika eyinhloko yomsebenzi we-RFP-LAC kwakuwukusungulwa kwezindlela zokuxhumana zesayensi nenqubomgomo. Ngohlelo lokuhlola olubalulekile lwesayensi ne-ParlAmericas, i-RFP-LAC yanikela ngobufakazi bezobuchwepheshe kanye nokubona kusengaphambili amasu ezishayamthetho zikazwelonke ezingama-35. Lesi sinyathelo sasungula uhlu lwezifunda lochwepheshe oluxhumanisa amalungu ephalamende nezeluleko zesayensi ezihlanganisa imikhakha eyahlukene. Lusekelwa ukwesekwa okuqinile kwabahlanganyeli, lolu hlelo luhlinzeka ngesisekelo sobufakazi bendlela ehlala njalo yeseluleko sesayensi nesifunda.
Izinhlelo eziyinhloko nazo zibhekane nengqalasizinda kanye nezikhala zolwazi. Isikole sokuqala saseCaribbean Crystallography eJamaica sisekele abacwaningi besifunda abangu-26 futhi saholela ekusungulweni kweKomiti Yesifunda saseCaribbean yeCrystallography, kwaqiniswa amandla esayensi ngaphakathi kwesifunda esincane. Ukwethulwa kochungechunge lokwabelana ngolwazi lwe-LAC kwakha ipulatifomu yokufunda kontanga ephindaphindayo ehlanganisa ukuziphatha kwe-AI, izindlela zokususa i-carbonization kanye namasu okubhekana nokulahlekelwa ubuchopho, okuhambisana nezinhlelo zokuqeqesha nezokuqeqesha ezilethwe nabalingani besifunda.
I-RFP-LAC yandise indima yayo ngaphakathi kwezinhlaka zesayensi zomhlaba wonke kanye nezinhlaka eziningi. Iminikelo kwiNhlangano Yokubambisana Kwezomnotho kanye Nezincomo Zentuthuko kuma-Emerging Biotechnologies kanye ne-Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Open Science Alliance isize ekuqinisekiseni ukuthi amazinga omhlaba wonke abonisa kangcono amaqiniso e-Global South.
I-RFP–LAC iphinde yaqinisa indima yayo ekusekeleni umphakathi wesayensi. IKomidi layo Lenqubomgomo Yesayensi kanye Nenkululeko kanye Nomthwalo Wemfanelo Esayensini likhuthaze inkululeko yezemfundo ekuphenduleni izinselele zesifunda futhi lagqugquzela ubumbano lwesayensi kumalungu e-Caribbean Academy of Sciences athinteke yizinkinga zemvelo. Lezi zintuthuko zibonisa ukukhula okuqhubekayo kwe-RFP–LAC njengeplatifomu yokubambisana kwesayensi.
Ngo-2025, i-ISC yaqinisa kakhulu ukuba khona kwayo e-Asia nasePacific. Isazi sesayensi esiphezulu saqokwa ukuhola i-Regional Focal Point for Asia and the Pacific (RFP–AP), okuqinisa ukuzibophezela koMkhandlu ekukhulumeni ngesayensi, ukuzibandakanya kwesifunda kanye nokuxhumana okuqinile phakathi kwamalungu kulo lonke isifunda. Lokhu kwanda kubonisa umzamo ohlelekile wokusekela izinto eziza kuqala zesifunda ngaphakathi kwezingxoxo zenqubomgomo yesayensi yomhlaba wonke.
I-RFP–AP yathuthukisa umgomo wayo wokukhuthaza imibono ye-Global South nokuqinisa amandla esayensi ngokusebenzisa ukubambisana okuqondiwe kanye nezinhlelo zokwakha amandla. Ama-workshop ahlanganisa ukuziphatha kocwaningo, ukuxhumana kwesimo sezulu, ubuholi besifazane kwezesayensi, ukuphathwa kwemfucuza, imfundo yesayensi kanye nepulasitiki eqhubekayo ahlanganise abahlanganyeli abangaphezu kwe-1,000 kulo lonke elaseNingizimu Asia, eNingizimu-mpumalanga ye-Asia kanye nePacific. Le misebenzi ikhiqize imiphumela ewusizo ehlanganisa izincomo zenqubomgomo, amathuluzi kanye namanethiwekhi ochwepheshe. Umcimbi omkhulu we-ASEAN science diplomacy nawo wathuthukisa amandla esifunda futhi waphakamisa ukusungulwa kwe-ASEAN Centre for Science Diplomacy.
Izinhlelo eziningana ezibalulekile ziqhubekele phambili phakathi nonyaka:
Ukuzibandakanya okukhulu kwezombangazwe kanye nezikhungo kuqinise kakhulu ubudlelwano nohulumeni, izinhlangano zamazwe ngamazwe kanye namanethiwekhi esifunda. Ndawonye, le misebenzi ikhombisa indima ekhulayo ye-RFP-AP ekuqiniseni izinhlelo zesayensi, ukusekela ukubandakanyeka kwenqubomgomo kanye nokukhuthaza ukubambisana kwesifunda.
NgoJanuwari 2025, i-ISC kanye noMnyango Wezemfundo Ephakeme, Ucwaningo Nokusungula Izinto Ezintsha wase-Oman basayina incwadi yenhloso yokusungula i-ISC Regional Focal Point eMpumalanga Ephakathi naseNyakatho Afrika (i-MENA). Lolu hlelo luhlose ukuqinisa ukubambisana kwesayensi, ubuchwepheshe kanye nokusungula izinto ezintsha, ukwenza kube lula ukushintshana ngocwaningo lwamazwe ngamazwe kanye nokukhuthaza ingxoxo phakathi kwezifunda ngezinselele zomhlaba wonke.
Lesi sivumelwano sasayinwa ngesikhathi seMuscat Global Knowledge Dialogue ngaphansi kokusekelwa kukaHis Highness Sayyid Asaad bin Tariq Al Said, iPhini likaNdunankulu Wezobudlelwano Namazwe Ngamazwe kanye Nezindaba Zokubambisana kanye noMmeleli Womuntu Siqu weNkosi uSultan. I-Focal Point ehlongozwayo, okulindeleke ukuthi isebenze ngo-2026, ihloselwe ukuhlinzeka ngeplatifomu yokubambisana kwesifunda, ubumbano lwesayensi kanye nokuzibandakanya okuqinile kwesifunda se-MENA kwisayensi yomhlaba wonke.
Ngo-Okthoba 2025, ngemuva koMhlangano Wokubonisana Ngezinto Ezibalulekile Zesayensi kanye ne-ISC Regional Focal Point ye-Central Asia-Transcaucasia, ababambiqhaza besifunda bamukele iSimemezelo saseTashkent. Lesi Simemezelo saphawula isinyathelo esibalulekile ekusunguleni i-ISC Regional Focal Point yesikhathi esizayo e-Central Asia naseTranscaucasia. Siveza ukuzibophezela okuhlanganyelwe ekuqiniseni ukubambisana kwesayensi yesifunda, ukuthuthukisa ukuxhumana namanethiwekhi esayensi omhlaba wonke kanye nokusekela ukwenziwa kwenqubomgomo okusekelwe ebufakazini. Lezi zinguquko zabeka isisekelo sokuzibandakanya okuhlelekile esifundeni esibaluleke kakhulu kwesayensi namasu.
NgoJanuwari 2025, umbiko owethulwe kwiBhodi Eliphethe i-ISC ngesikhathi se-Third ISC General Assembly wabeka izincomo ngokuba khona kweKhansela esikhathini esizayo e-Afrika kanye nezindlela zokusheshisa intuthuko yesayensi kulo lonke izwekazi ngenkathi kuqinisekiswa izwi layo kanye nethonya lomhlaba wonke.
Ilungu leBhodi Elibusayo le-ISC uWalter Oyawa lihlole izinketho zokusingatha i-Regional Focal Point for Africa, kwathi i-ISC Secretariat yabe isibiza ukubonisana nge-inthanethi namalungu kanye nababambiqhaza ababalulekile ukuze kuqhutshekwe nezingxoxo. Le mizamo imele isinyathelo esibalulekile ekusunguleni ubukhona be-ISC obuqinile nobuhlelekile e-Afrika.
