What is CSSP?
The Council of Scientific Society Presidents is an organization of presidents, presidents-elect, and recent past presidents of about sixty scientific federations and societies whose combined membership numbers well over 1.4 million scientists and science educators.
Since 1973 CSSP has served as a strong national voice in fostering wise science policy, in support of science and science education, as the premier national science leadership development center, and as a forum for open, substantive exchanges on emerging scientific issues.
Council membership spans the top elected officers of the full spectrum of physical, mathematical, and life sciences, and science and mathematics education. The Council is supported by dues and contributions from the supporting societies and annual contributions from Institutional Affiliates.
