Aim 1: Relevance

To work to a dynamic agenda of direct relevance to ICSTI stakeholders, that addresses emerging STI issues of significance and breadth, engages the spectrum of ICSTI members and transcends conflict of interest and competition.

Other Information:

ICSTI activities will be undertaken within the broad domain that encompasses the processes and technologies of STI creation, the organization, retrieval, authority and preservation of STI, as well as issues related to intellectual property and access. Its priorities will be guided by the needs and demands of its diverse international membership and audience constituencies which comprise research scientists, research libraries, scientific research centres, primary secondary and tertiary publishers, learned societies, datacentres, governmental organizations, funding bodies, technology, software and search engine companies, standards organizations, and scientific unions. ICSTI's principal objective during the plan period will be to focus at two levels: on generic issues related to innovation and change and on a differentiated short-list of specific areas common to the STI communities that avoid duplicating the work of others. ICSTI will position itself as a facilitator to evaluate the potential consequences of change and as the catalyst for practical responses/solutions to common problems.
