Building on its ongoing efforts to support the scientific community in an evolving digital landscape, the ISC has launched a new initiative focused on strengthening the digital capacity of science organizations in low- and middle-income countries. It will cover a range of related topics – from streamlined data management to effective virtual collaborations and communication, to integrating new technologies into workplace and culture.
As part of the initiative, a diverse group of ISC Members will engage in workshops, webinars, and coaching sessions aimed at advancing their digital journeys.
The participating Members are:
The learnings and experiences gained through this programme will be synthesized into a practical report with actionable recommendations, alongside useful tools and support mechanisms for those interested in pursuing their digital journeys independently.
“Digital transformation is no longer a luxury — it’s a necessity. This initiative focuses on ensuring that science organizations, regardless of their resources, have the tools and knowledge to thrive in an increasingly technology-driven world.”
Sign up for the ISC Monthly newsletter to follow the project and access the materials once they are made available.
The work is carried out by the ISC’s think tank, Centre for Science Futures, with the aid of a grant from the International Development Research Centre, Ottawa, Canada. The views expressed herein do not necessarily represent those of IDRC or its Board of Governors.
