IFS Celebrates and Looks Ahead – The 50th Anniversary Forum on Science for Peace, Prosperity and Justice

On 10 November 2022, 46 colleagues and friends gathered to celebrate IFS’s half-century of supporting more than 8,800 early-career researchers in more than 100 countries. Held on the premises of the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences (IVA) in Stockholm – one of IFS’s founding member organisations – the Forum’s participants represented current, former and prospective members of the IFS community, including alumni, Scientific Advisory Committee members, partners, donors, Board of Trustees and Secretariat staff. Several other colleagues were invited to participate in the Forum as keynote and panel speakers on issues related to the decolonization of science and the strengthening of science and impact with indigenous peoples and local community organisations.
