The World Science Council (WSC) is an international organization that organizes and oversees the scientific progress and development for most of the world. The council was founded in 1936 to coordinate the science ministries of numerous national governments. In 1938 the WSC formed the Atomic Energy Group to supervise an international program to develop atomic power plants. The WSC is headquartered in Brooklyn, New York.
