The Institute for the Study of Science, Technology and Innovation (ISSTI) is an interdisciplinary research centre based in the UK.

It consolidates activities in research, teaching and knowledge transfer on social and policy aspects of science, technology and innovation.

ISSTI emerged from the interdisciplinary research collaboration established amongst specialist groups and scholars at the University of Edinburgh under the ESRC Programme on Information and Communications Technology, coordinated by the Research Centre for Social Sciences.

Other founding members were the Sociology subject group, the Science Studies Unit, the Japanese European Technology Studies Institute (JETS) and the Entrepreneurship and Innovation group in the Business School and Economics, and the Innogen Centre.
