Donations and Support
Today’s defining challenges, from geopolitical conflict to energy security, artificial intelligence, and climate change, are complex, interwoven, and deeply shaped by technological forces. Science, technology and innovation sit at the core of human progress, national security, and economic growth. These challenges demand individuals who can move fluently between international affairs and technological systems, supported by institutions capable of convening the expertise needed to inform decision-making. The Institute for International Science and Technology Policy (IISTP) was founded more than fifty years ago to integrate science, technology and international affairs, and is uniquely positioned to lead in research, convening, and training that will shape what comes next. With sustained investment, the next fifty years can be even more consequential than the last.
