Make plans now to join us for the SciTS 2026 Conference, May 6-9, 2026, at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada!

The SciTS Conference is the flagship event of the International Network for the Science of Team Science (INSciTS). It remains the premier annual gathering for scholars, practitioners, and providers in Team Science (collaborative interdisciplinary research). 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 2026 will showcase the current state of knowledge in the field, highlight applications for enhancing both team science and the science of team science, and explore future directions for advancing the global scientific enterprise.

SciTS 2026 will bring together thought leaders, scientists engaged in team-based research, institutional leaders who promote collaborative research, policymakers, and federal agency representatives.

As public health, social, technological, and environmental challenges impacting our world become more complex, science is increasingly central to addressing these issues. Tackling these challenges requires cross-disciplinary engagement, collaboration, and often long-term interaction among groups of investigators. Such team-based research efforts are also an essential feature of a robust translational research enterprise.
