Scientific Collections International is an organization devoted to the international and interdisciplinary coordination of object based scientific collections, and to increasing the scientific and societal impact of scientific collections. The organizational design and development is being guided by an international Steering Committee as an initiative of the Global Science Forum. As part of the planning and development process leading to the official launch of Scientific Collections International at the end of 2010, the Steering Committee is organizing an international workshop at the Belgian Royal Institute of Natural Sciences for 8 and 9 February 2010. The workshop will bring together representatives of collections based organizations and the users of collections in varied disciplines, including but not limited to biomedicine, earth and planetary sciences, biodiversity, physical anthropology, ethnology, and archaeology. The National Science Foundation is providing funds for a contingent of two US speakers, five US participants from a range of disciplines that rely on scientific collections, and six delegates from developing countries. This award is being co-funded by the Biological Research Collections Program, the Office of International Science and Engineering, and the Office of Cyberinfrastructure.

国际科学收藏组织是一个致力于以实物为基础的科学收藏的国际和跨学科协调，并增加科学收藏的科学和社会影响的组织。作为全球科学论坛的一项倡议，组织设计和发展由一个国际指导委员会指导。作为2010年底正式启动国际科学收藏计划的规划和发展进程的一部分，指导委员会将于2010年2月8日和9日在比利时皇家自然科学研究所组织一次国际研讨会。研讨会将汇集以馆藏为基础的组织的代表和不同学科的馆藏使用者，包括但不限于生物医学、地球和行星科学、生物多样性、体质人类学、民族学和考古学。美国国家科学基金会正在为一个代表团提供资金，该代表团由两名美国发言人、来自依赖科学收藏的一系列学科的五名美国参与者和六名来自发展中国家的代表组成。该奖项由生物研究收集计划、国际科学与工程办公室以及网络基础设施办公室共同资助。
