A GLOBAL EXPERT NETWORK AND SCIENTIFIC ADVISORY BOARD
A Scientific Advisory Board oversees the curation of the latest research and drives the global research agenda. IMACS convenes a community of practice of 48 select experts from 25+ countries around 13 disciplines. The network of leading researchers and practitioners meet virtually to share knowledge, new innovations, and partnership opportunities, including conference workshops and symposia. In 2023, with support from the select members of the network, IMACS conducted a survey and an extensive cataloging of global digital tools, available here.
