G7

The G7 is a group of seven major industrialized democracies—the United States, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Canada, and Japan—that meet regularly to discuss global issues including scientific research and innovation. While the G7 isn't a scientific organization itself, it plays an important role in coordinating science policy, funding, and international collaboration on challenges like climate change, public health, and technological development. Think of it as a club where the world's wealthiest nations align their scientific priorities and agree on how to tackle big problems together.
