Since its very inception, the Academy has held as one of its most important goals, the creation of the Science Information System. This major initiative, when completed, will constitute the largest online and searchable collection of scientific and technical information. As part of the database, the Academy will maintain a registry of the names, credentials, and technical expertise of the international scientific community.

The International Academy of Science is pleased to announce that the long awaited membership program -- allowing scientists all over the world the opportunity to become part of the Science Information System -- has just been launched.
