The CSIR-Institute for Scientific and Technological Information (CSIR-INSTI) has over the years carved a niche for itself as a leading knowledge-based institute of the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), Ghana. The Institute has strongly and consistently maintained its role as a repository of the huge amount of knowledge generated from research activities of the 13 research institutes of the CSIR.

At the heart of the mandate of the CSIR-INSTI is the research into and development of electronic tools and communication systems that will facilitate management of the knowledge generated from research.

The CSIR-INSTI is first of all grateful to staff of all categories, the Government of Ghana, development partners, and friends of the Institute who have in diverse ways kept the Institute alive to its mandate. The Institute looks forward to fruitful working relations with its stakeholders, clients, and friends. I wish you a “smooth and safe journey” through the profile of the CSIR-INSTI.
