The International Council for Scientific and Technical Information (ICSTI) fosters cooperation among all stakeholders engaged in the scientific communication process with the aim of improving the effectiveness of scientific research. It fully exploits its unique position at the intersection of scientific and technical knowledge creation, organisation, dissemination and use, to identify and act upon key challenges, without politicized or commercially driven agenda. ICSTI is a broad-based, international, not-for-profit membership organization.
ICSTI will address the drivers for change and initiate programmes and projects of direct relevance to current and future scholarly communication concerns. ICSTI will actively promote and provide a forum for the exchange of experience, expertise and understanding, and create the opportunity for organizational networking and collaboration across the scientific and technical information (STI) communities.
