During each term, state-of-the-art assessment reports are prepared in the various domains, which are subsequently submitted for discussion during Congress. The objectives of the ISSC include promoting international collaboration, suggesting design procedures and criteria, discussing ongoing studies, and simplifying the evaluation and dissemination of results from recent studies.
