Biographical / Historical

The World Academy of Art and Science, founded in 1960, contains an international membership of natural and social scientists interested in serving as an instrument to further world order and human dignity. The social consequences and policy implications of knowledge are primary concerns. The organization holds conferences, meetings, and symposia in various countries and issues publications. The Swiss-based Academy was dissolved in 2011 since it could no longer fuction in accordance with Swiss statutes. The Academy was thereafter re-incorporated by various members as a non-profit organization in California.
