SUFS International will build on the group’s momentum to promote evidence-based policy making and support pro-science movements around the world.
“Physics, medicine, climate science, and biology know no borders and it is critical we continue our momentum to bring our movement to a global audience. Stand Up for Science International will ensure science serves the public good everywhere,” said Dr. Colette Delawalla, Founder and CEO of Stand Up for Science.
Stand Up for Science International has four objectives:
1. Ensure evidence-based policy making globally;
2. Protect vulnerable populations—particularly in the Global South—from pseudoscientific exploitation;
3. Support nascent pro-science movement and community building; and
4. Reimagine the global scientific ecosystem to ensure science as a public good for all.
The international incorporation comes as the Trump Administration ramps up its attacks on the American scientific ecosystem. The recent OMB grantmaking rule changes drastically restrict international collaborations, which will no doubt affect science and research in other countries. The administration’s continued rollbacks of environmental and public health protections and slashing of scientific research programs and projects are also poised to have international ripple effects.
The Stand Up for Science leadership team recently visited Europe, meeting with policymakers, researchers, journalists, and supporters to discuss the international implications of this threat from OMB and the broader future of science.
Delawalla is available for comment and media appearances.
