PCST Network has signed a partnership agreement with the International Year of Science Engagement (IYSE), which aims to proclaim 2027 as an official United Nations International Year and to put Science Engagement on the global agenda.

PCST joins scientific societies, universities, media organisations and other cultural associations around the world in denouncing the Putin-led invasion of Ukraine.

Better services mean higher costs, and the last meeting of the Scientific Committee decided to increase the cost of membership fees for those from wealthier countries. This is the first increase in seven years.

The new Scientific Committee unanimously elects first female president of PCST.
