International Social Science Council

International Social Science Council

The International Social Science Council (ISSC) is an international organisation that aims to promote the social and behavioural sciences. It was founded in 1952, under the auspices of UNESCO.

There is some overlap between it and UNESCO's "MOST" (Management of Social Transformations) programme, which is UNESCO's main social sciences research programme.
