Standard Material Transfer Agreements (SMTAs) - These data give the number of Standard Material Transfer Agreements (SMTAs) reported through the online system of the International Treaty (Easy-SMTA).

Users also have a two-year period for reporting their SMTAs. The number reported for a specific year may therefore change during the following two years.
