At forty, the Philippine Social Science Council looks forward to being at its best. No longer so young as to lack experience in the demanding ways of academe, nor venerable enough as to crave academic retirement, PSSC remains a critical work in progress. Still, even in anticipation of the next forty years, PSSC has already delivered on its prime mandate: to nurture the country's social sciences.rnThe pioneering academics who birthed PSSC in the 1960s dedicated themselves to a singular mission - coordinating, synergizing, and focusing the social science disciplines to aid in their intellectual growth, interdisciplinary collaboration, and synergistic outreach work.rnAt the time, the mostly young scholars and their fledgling disciplines seldom practiced academic synergy.
