Breakthrough Workshops

Breakthrough Workshops are designed to address key questions in science, by gathering the main experts on the topic, invite them to spend a week in a neutral and welcoming environment, discuss, and produce one high visibility, high impact, open access peer-reviewed paper providing the community consensus on the topic in question, including what there is agreement on, and where there is not, to be submitted within three months from the completion of the Workshop. Breakthrough Workshops have a format that includes abundance of time for moderated discussions and collaborative paper writing, hackathon style. Participation at this ISSI Breakthrough Workshop is by invitation only. The number of participants  is capped at ~45 scientists, including a number of Early Career Scientists. ISSI typically organises one Breakthrough Workshop per year.
