Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Interdisciplinary Research
Mission: The american academy of arts and sciences is an international learned society with a dual mission: to honor and elect to membership women and men of exceptional achievement, drawn from science, scholarship, business, public affairs, and the arts; and to mobilize the intellectual resources needed to anticipate and conduct a varied program of projects and studies focused on complex issues that benefit from the academy's cross-disciplinary approach, to identify solutions to those issues, and to promote nonpartisan recommendations responsive to the needs and problems of today's global society.
Programs: Academy projects and studies - drawing from every field of research and professional practice, the academy brings together scholars, artists, policy-makers, business leaders, and other experts to examine the most pressing problems facing our world. Often, the academy's influential studies help pioneer new fields that transcend disciplinary boundaries.
project outreach and events - the academy regularly sponsors meetings, lectures, panel discussions, and informal gatherings around the country. Topics are drawn from academy projects as well as the research and writings of academy members.
publications - the academy maintains an active publications program to disseminate new knowledge as well as recommendations from academy research. Our publications influence scholars, policy-makers, and other leaders in higher education, government, the arts, business, public affairs, and philanthrophy.
