ICSTI Webinars

The ICSTI Exchanges series brings member organizations together with STI stakeholders from around the world to exchange ideas and innovations in STI creation, dissemination, and use. Exchanges sessions are free, public events open to all in the STI community.

The ICSTI Connections series offers members an informal forum to discuss common challenges in STI and share their experience and expertise.
