Cooperating Organizations are a network of international studies groups accredited by ISA to promote contacts among specialists and practitioners and facilitate scientific and cultural exchange. ISA seeks to provide channels of communication between academics and policy-makers to promote a successful link between the production of knowledge and its utilization. Cooperating Organizations are invited to participate in ISA's activities, including the annual convention, and various international conferences and joint workshops. Cooperating Organizations are entitled to a quota of panels at our annual convention and our international conferences. Other benefits of cooperating status include reciprocity in web site promotion, publicity and announcements, and shared Internet resources, including the ISA e-mail list and web log.
