Objectives

• Contribute to solving national and global technological problems;
• Support basic and applied research;
• Support the transition to market-based economies;
• Encourage the integration of CIS and Georgian former weapons scientists into the international scientific community.

Engaging Scientific Communities Globally

The principle activity through which the ISTC meets these objectives is the management of science R&D projects. Institutes throughout Armenia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan coordinate project proposals with the ISTC Secretariat for review and funding. Project participants and institutes receiving ISTC funding benefit from the Center's supporting programs such as travel grants, workshops, seminars, international conferences, and commercialization support.
