How ITS Achieves its Goals

ITS achieves its goals by providing forums where academic, business, and government researchers as well as industry practitioners, policy makers, representatives of international bodies, and consultants present and discuss research results, and may interact in spontaneous ways. The most important of such forums is a series of ITS biennial international conferences. In response to specific needs as they develop, ITS also organizes local and regional symposia, seminars, workshops, and courses. If requested and found appropriate, ITS may also support -- in the form of participation, sponsoring, coordinating, or advising -- other organizations' conferences and events. ITS encourages and supports the participation of young researchers in its conferences. ITS disseminates research results and news to its members and to the general public via traditional and electronic means including Communications & Strategies, the membership journal of ITS, the ITS Newsletter, and the ITS Web site, www.itsworld.org.
