Title
New York Academy of Sciences
Description
Since 1817, the New York Academy of Sciences has been bringing together scientists of different disciplines from around the world. Their purpose is to advance the understanding of science, technology, and medicine, and to stimulate new ways to think about how their research is applied in society and the world.
An independent, nonprofit, membership-based organization, the Academy has always relied on the generous support of its members and partnering institutions for its vitality. Today the Academy is widely recognized as one of the world's foremost organizers of scientific conferences and symposia. Over time its mission has evolved considerably beyond convener to include the roles of communicator, mentor, and gadfly.
Convener: Every year the Academy hosts six to eight major conferences on the most pressing current scientific issues. Additionally, several times a week scientists from the tri-state area's foremost research institutions come to the Academy's historic building on East 63rd Street to discuss a colleague's recent work in one of the twenty or more sections or discussion groups the Academy has made famous. In public policy the Academy initiated the Harbor Project, a consortium of 40 groups dedicated to developing pollution prevention strategies for the New York-New Jersey harbor.
