'''''Developing technical services for our community'''''

The Information Science &amp; Technology Commission (ISTC) facilitates dialogue and collaboration between the IT departments of CETAF member and non-member institutions to ensure institutional interoperability through the development of common infrastructures and standards. The group works towards compatibility of components for digital information exchange and sharing, through procedural changes and adaptations to IT systems.

Members of the ISTC officially represent IT or Biodiversity Informatics departments of [https://cetaf.org/ CETAF] institutions. The group was established as a technical working group of the EU-funded project European Distributed Institute of Taxonomy ([https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/18340 EDIT]) and was integrated into CETAF in 2011.
