Forums are informal and free-ranging debates among some 15 to 20 participants, to discuss future directions, innovations and challenges. These can be of a scientific nature or to do with science policy matters. Forums need not produce formal recommendations or decisions, but outcomes are often captured as white papers, roadmaps or journal publications. ISSI hosts a handful of Forums per year, each lasting 2–3 days.
