Welcome to ISSCI!
The International Society for the Study of Creativity and Innovation (ISSCI) is a non-profit organization founded by leading creativity researchers to facilitate large-scale studies of creativity, particularly international studies. Our work is centered around four key areas:
Facilitating large-scale studies on creativity
The ISSCI facilitates articularly international and interdisciplinary studies of creativity.
Assisting in finding funding and resources
Provides research teams with access to academics and assistance in finding funding and project management resources.
Organizing events and offer courses
By hosting special events focused on topics that advance creativity theory and practice, and by offering educational courses on creativity.
Cooperating for the benefit of individuals and communities
We see these projects as analogous to the International Space Station: large undertakings that are powered by international cooperation for the benefit of the entire world.
