Science in FSC, FSC in Science

We invite academia from different fields of expertise to share what they identified as FSC’s impact and reach. We will discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the FSC system as identified by the researchers, and their recommendations on how FSC can build on their findings, and how FSC can support their work.
