The world is undergoing profound and unprecedented global transformations, with common challenges—including food security, public health, climate change and energy transition—becoming increasingly interlinked. Science and technology are a core pillar for addressing global development challenges and advancing human civilization. Emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence and robotics, offer major opportunities for global development while posing new challenges for safety, ethics, governance and equitable application. Responsible innovation and the scientifically grounded, safe and rational application of AI and robotics should be upheld. There is an urgent need to establish a cross-national, cross-sectoral and multi-stakeholder collaboration mechanism that pools the innovative wisdom of all humankind to respond to the defining issues of our time.

To this end, as joint founding initiators, hereby launch the preparatory work for the World Science Community (WSC). The Community is a non-profit international science and technology consultative body. Its core purpose is to unite the strengths of nations and peoples worldwide, harness scientific and technological innovation to shape a new vision for human development, advance the common well-being of all humankind, and ensure that emerging technologies are safe, trustworthy, inclusive and sustainable.

Guided by the principles of openness, inclusiveness, collaboration, sharing and responsible innovation, the World Science Community will pursue the following core missions:
