Book excerpt: The International Society for Third-Sector Research (ISTR) is a major international association promoting research and education in the fields of civil society, philanthropy, and the nonprofit sector. Founded in 1992, ISTR has spent thirty years building a global community of scholars while also raising the awareness of the Third Sector and all it accomplishes. ISTR also works to broaden the inclusion and strengthen the voices of researchers in developing nations and Central and Eastern Europe, which have active Third Sectors but are under-represented in research literature. ISTR has several means to accomplish their mission of education, collaboration, and research. They have an affiliated journal: VOLUNTAS, the International Journal of Voluntary and Nonprofit Organizations. They also have an affiliated book series, regional conferences, and active affinity groups where those that specialize in voluntary sector law or another subfield can network and share research. However, one of the main events is the biennial International Conference. After two attempts to host their biennial conference in Montreal, Canada, the ISTR successfully convened the 15th International Conference as an in-person and hybrid event on 12-15 of July 2022.
