The Science Workshop Program is targeted on establishing effective collaboration and facilitating long term scientific partnership through organizing meetings and topical discussions between beneficiaries of the ISTC projects/programs and their colleagues from the territories of the ISTC Funding Parties.

The program is implemented by organizing separate events in the form of a workshop dedicated to a particular technical area and involving a limited number of the participants directly associated with the discussed topic. Scientific Workshops can, upon approval from the Financing Party, be either specifically ISTC-dedicated events, ISTC sessions linked with topic-related workshops/conferences, supported by other organizations or industry groups, or mini-workshops for the purpose of developing project ideas or confirming the basis of collaboration.
