Don't Miss Your Chance to Exhibit at the SciTS 2025 Virtual Conference!

The Annual SciTS Conference is the flagship event of the International Network for the Science of Tam Science (INSciTS). It remains the premier annual gathering for scholars, practitioners, and providers in Team Science (collaborative interdisciplinary research) and the Science of Team Science (the study of optimizing such collaborations). The conference brings together a broad range of disciplines to share and advance the evidence-based methods for team collaboration and transdisciplinary science. Our goal is to build an evidence-base and develop translational applications to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of team-based research.

SciTS 2025 will showcase the current state of knowledge in field, highlight applications for enhancing both team science and science of team science, and explore future directions for advancing the global scientific enterprise.
