The International Academy of Science (inofficialy name:International Academy of Science, Munich - acronym (IAS)) is an international learned society and academy of science established 1982 in Munich. The IAS has elected members (academicians) from all over the world. Its members are scientists, philosophers, intellectuals, and few acting or former public and state representives.
Mission and Objectives
The Mission of the IAS is based on the principle of the Universal Movement for Scientific Responsibility: "Scientific knowledge should be used only to promote the dignity and preserve the integrity and the future of man, but no-one can hinder the acquisition of scientific knowledge.", which was founded by IAS Acad. Jean-Marie Lehn.
The goals of the IAS, are: [1]
- to reinforce awarness of scientific responsibility and the social responsiblities of scientists;
- to develope and support new international, trans- and interdisciplinary approaches;
- to increase the effectiveness of scientific research (better governance of science);
- to support a humanitarian approach to science;
- scientific cooperations between the industrialized and the developing countries;
- cooperations between scientists and political decision making bodies and support of scientific research;
- integration of philosophical and ethical subjects into scientific education;
- to promote public scientific and political discussions on the role of science and future developments.
- to promote an optimal integration of scientific, public and political goals.
History
The Academy was founded in Munich from 42 scientists from LMU, TU, GSF (now Helmholtz Zentrum München)*,Max Planck Society and Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities of the International Council for Scientific Development (ICSD)[2]. IAS and ICSD have been an organisational unit since then, the short form designation for both is IAS-ICSD. Also ICSD ist used separtly. The ICSD's core function is the institutional members organisation, the IAS is the central body and the organisation of the personal members. Until 1990 more than 700 academicians from over 80 National Academies of Sciences accepted membership, including Nobel Laureates. Ilya Prigogine was Founding President, Co-Presidents were Angel Balevski and Partrap S. Srivastara (1984-1989) [3].Linus Karl Pauling was Honorary President untill the end of his life. National Sections of the Academy were founded in many countires. The most active section of the Academy is the Russian and Azerbaijani section and the Health and Ecology (IAS-ICSD H&E) Committee, which operates worldwide.In October 1993 in Moscow the Russian Section of International Academy of Science (RS IAS) was established with prominent representatives of domestic science: Nobel Prize Laureates N.G.Basov, A.M.Prokhorov and Academicians N.N.Moiseyev and others (10 Year Report 200[4]3).34 organizations have been officially registered as collective members of RS/IAS.The Azerbaijan Section was established with leading academic institutions on 03 November 2001 with support of the Head of State of Azerbaijan.
Governance, Legal and Activities
The IAS has a decentralised legal governance (e.g. in Russia, Japan, Germany, Austria) with regular governance meetings. The Academy has a number of committees and commissions, as well as own research facilities and research groups. The best known committee internationally is the Health and Ecology Committee (H&E), which also has its own legal structure. [5] The acting IAS-ICSD President is the Insbruck physician Walter Kofler, who has been Chairman of the Health and Ecology Committee for many years and is a foreign member of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
The official legal name is International Academy of Science, also in all documents and statutes, without the place name Munich. The place of origin Munich was introduced unofficially to avoid confusion with the other numerous International Academies of Sciences. The IAS was the first institution to bear this name and, unlike the most other organisations, it is a genuine academy of science.
The International Academy of Sciences organised conferences[6] and workshops around the world[7]. Also the IAS published in different languages over the past 30 years [8]. The Russion Section published the Herald of the International Academy of Science as peer reviewed and international journal. The IAS work with many cooperation partners such as the UNESCO, worldwide universities (e.g. Oslo, Moscow, Munich, Baku) academies such as the Russian Academy of Sciences, the Pakistan Academy of Sciences, Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences e.g, public authorities, organisations and ministries. The IAS covers all research areas, including humanities. Main fields today are health and sustainability related sciences like health science, health and ecology, education for sustainable development, forecasting of earthquakes, planetary health and sustainability science.
Membership and Academicians (1982-2021)
From 1980 until 2021 the IAS has approximately 1,500 academicans (members)[9], including many Nobel Laureates and members from 81 national academies of sciences. Today IAS unites about 900 academicians. The members are listed as Academicians (Acad.) abbreviation before the names respectively IAS Acad., after or before the name). ICSD contains over 50 institutions as institutional members. e.g. over 30 universities. Membership is by invitation or selection only.
