未来几十年，科学将在社会应对新出现的全球“重大挑战”中发挥关键作用。因此，科学的议程设定、协调和开展，以及科学知识的传播和使用方式至关重要。此类问题越来越需要在全球层面上进行思考，既反映了科学本身的国际性质，也反映了科学寻求解决的挑战的规模。还必须纳入更长期的视角，以反映主要全球挑战的时间范围以及未来全球治理制度所涉及的不确定性。远见提供了探索科学这些维度的方法。国际科学理事会 (ICSU) 一直将远见作为其战略规划的核心组成部分。本文介绍了 ICSU 最近的活动，该活动探讨了二十年后的国际科学合作如何促进科学进步并应对全球挑战。
Over the coming decades, science will play a key role in society's response to emerging global 'grand challenges'. The agenda-setting, coordination and conduct of science, and the ways in which scientific knowledge is diffused and used, are therefore critical. Increasingly, such issues need to be framed at a global level, reflecting both the international nature of science itself and the scale of the challenges it seeks to address. Longer-term perspectives must also be incorporated to reflect the time horizons of key global challenges and the uncertainties involved in future global governance regimes. Foresight offers a means to explore these dimensions of science. The International Council for Science (ICSU) has been applying foresight as a central component of its strategic planning. This paper describes the most recent ICSU exercise, which has explored how two decades hence international collaboration in science could foster progress in science and address global challenges.
