November 02, 2020

The SciTS2021 Conference Planning Committee is pleased to announce that next year’s Science of Team Science conference will be presented 100% online. We ask you to save the extended dates June 7-11, 2021 to join us for an online conference rich in discussion and engagement infused with the principles of team science. While we were looking forward to welcoming you to the greater Washington, D.C. metro area, we understand that so many are experiencing uncertainty and stress in their personal and professional lives. We want to prioritize your safety and wellbeing by offering  an online event that will provide the flexibility and accessibility needed during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

The 12th Annual International Science of Team Science Conference hosted by Virginia Tech aims to advance our understanding of collaborative initiatives that address multidimensional complex societal problems. The theme of the SciTS 2021 is Science of Team Science and the Human Condition. As a point of convergence between science and practice, the conference will provide a platform to investigate contributions that team science research can make to addressing urgent contemporary challenges. This year’s conference will highlight the interface of the science of team science with challenges such as:

  • responding to megadisasters (e.g., the COVID pandemic, hurricanes, and fires),
  • curtailing systemic racism and the need to create and implement anti-racist policies and practices, including technologies, and
  • grappling with challenges in large growing metropolitan regions, such as equitable economic growth, affordable housing, education, healthcare, food scarcity, infrastructure systems (including IT systems), and the impacts of climate change.

Our call for abstracts is now open! We invite team science academics, leaders and members of cross-disciplinary teams, institutional leaders and administrators, and funding agencies to collaboratively rethink how science of team science research and practice may serve as a foundation for positive change and justice.

The following options are available:
