An associate laboratory of the University of Porto, Porto, starting on November 23, 2000, it has been headed by Portuguese researcher Manuel Sobrinho Simões who was empowered with the task of founding it.
|
||||
IPATIMUP's major lines of action are the prevention and early diagnosis of stomach cancer or precocious lesions, and diagnosis quality improvement of malignant neoplasia and pre-malignant lesions. The numerous published papers and important results related to gastric and esophagical cancer make this one of the (if not the) top-level cancer-related research institutions in Portugal and in Europe. But as a scientific teaching-associated institution, its main goals also are:
|
||||
|
||||
Research in human pathology, specifically oncobiology (cancer);
|
||||
Training of graduate students, technicians, residents and specialists in Pathology;
|
||||
Share of scientific knowledge and teaching of undergraduate students;
|
||||

The Instruments Research & Development Establishment (IRDE) is a laboratory of the Defence Research & Development Organization (DRDO). Located in Dehradun, its primary function is research and development in the field of optical and electro-optical instrumentation. Their objective is to develop products like night vision devices, electro-optical surveillance and fire control systems.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
== Projects ==
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
=== Holographic sight ===
|
||||
The IRDE has developed holographic sights which are manufactured by India Optel's Ordnance Factory Dehradun, and have a range of up to 300 m. The Indian Army has already put in a demand for 20,000 holographic device units, while the National Security Guards has shown interest in the device and requested some units in 2008.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
=== Laser-guided anti-tank guided missile ===
|
||||
In 2020, IRDE was among other DRDO laboratories that jointly developed an indigenous laser-guided anti-tank guided missile that can be fired from an Arjun main battle tank.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
=== Anti-drone system ===
|
||||
In 2021, IRDE was among other DRDO laboratories that jointly developed with Bharat Electronics a fully indigenous anti-drone system that has been acquired by all three branches of the Indian Armed Forces.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
==== Drone detection and tracking system ====
|
||||
Due to constant threat of UAV attacks, IRDE is working on a new electro-optical drone detection system. The project is independent of what other DRDO labs are doing in anti-drone warfare domain especially the recently launched D-4 System. The IRDE system will be able to detect 4-foot-long UAV flying at about 300 km/h from a distance of 3 km (1.9 mi) and a drone having a size of about 1 foot and flying at about 70 km/h from a distance of 2 km (1.2 mi). The system will integrate thermographic cameras, high-resolution video cameras, laser illuminators and laser range finders to detect and track rogue drones through electromagnetic and radio emission, reflection of microwave, infrared and visible light.
|
||||
Since standalone systems and conventional air defense measures are insufficient to engage smaller drones, DRDO is planning to strengthen and build a web of network which will include multiple newly developed systems connected with the national airspace surveillance radars acting in unison for detecting, identifying, tracking and deploying anti-drone countermeasures such as soft or hard kill in case of emergency.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
=== Quick Reaction Surface to Air Missile ===
|
||||
In 2022 IRDE and DRDO laboratories developed the Quick Reaction Surface to Air Missile (QRSAM) system. The QRSAM provides a protective shield to the mobile armoured units of the Indian Army from aerial attacks.

The Inter-Agency Space Debris Coordination Committee (IADC) is an inter-governmental forum whose aim is to co-ordinate efforts to deal with debris in orbit around the Earth founded in 1993. The primary purposes of the IADC is information exchange on space debris research activities, facilitating opportunities for joint research, and reviewing progress of ongoing activities. All of these are designed to support identification of space debris mitigation options.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
== Debris mitigation guidance ==
|
||||
In March 2020, the organization has developed recommendations that each program or project establish and document a feasible Space Debris Mitigation Plan. The plan should include the following items:
|
||||
|
||||
A management plan addressing space debris mitigation activities
|
||||
A plan for the assessment and mitigation of risks related to space debris, including applicable standards
|
||||
The measures minimising the hazard related to malfunctions that have a potential for generating space debris
|
||||
A plan for disposal of the spacecraft and/or orbital stages at end of mission
|
||||
Justification of choice and selection when several possibilities exist

The Interdisciplinary Association for Population Health Science (abbreviated IAPHS) is an interdisciplinary membership organization dedicated to research in population health. It was incorporated as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in 2015, and was officially launched on September 19, 2016. Its inaugural president was Sandro Galea (Boston University), who was elected in 2016. Galea served as president of the IAPHS until he was succeeded in 2017 by current president Bruce Link (University of California, Riverside). In 2016, David Nash of Thomas Jefferson University wrote, "What is fascinating about [the IAPHS] is its commitment to an interdisciplinary population-based approach to health and healthcare. From IAPHS's perspective, population health means everything from improving children's lives to help them become healthy adults, to building healthier community environments, and even to changing discriminatory policies in the public sector."

Arctic atmosphere: feedbacks, radiation, and weather analysis
|
||||
Permafrost/Frozen soil models and observations
|
||||
Arctic biota/vegetation (ecosystem models)
|
||||
IARC is devoting specific effort to answering the following three questions:
|
||||
|
||||
To what extent is climate change due to natural vs man-made causes?
|
||||
What parameters, processes and interactions are needed to understand and predict future climate change?
|

|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
== Objectives ==
|
||||
The main objectives of the IAAP are to advance the understanding and utility of analytical psychology worldwide, and to ensure that the highest professional, scientific and ethical standards are maintained in the training and practice of analytical psychologists among its member groups.

Formed in 2002, the International Association for Jungian Studies (IAJS) is a learned society for Jungian scholars and clinicians.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
== Background ==
|
||||
The IAJS differs in its focus from the international Jungian organisation, the International Association for Analytical Psychology (IAAP), in that the IAAP is a professional regulatory body for member societies and developing groups of clinicians, and those in training, whereas the IAJS concentrates on professional or scholarly interest in Jungian and post-Jungian theory. Both are open to clinicians, scholars, scientists, clergy, artists, and others.
|
||||
The IAJS organises semi-annual to annual conferences, at which academic papers are presented.
|
||||
The IAJS formerly had a stake in the Jungian journal Harvest, until it was announced in February 2007 that IAJS had amicably parted with Harvest and would be publishing the International Journal for Jungian Studies. As of July 2006, the IAJS had 408 members from various countries around the world.

The International Association for Relationship Research (IARR) is an international, interdisciplinary learned society dedicated to promoting research on personal relationships. It was formed in 2004 from the merger of the International Network on Personal Relationships (INPR) and the International Society for the Study of Personal Relationships (ISSPR). Its official peer-reviewed journals are Personal Relationships and the Journal of Social and Personal Relationships. IARR also sponsors the Advances in Personal Relationships book series and publishes a newsletter called Relationship Research News.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
== Organizational aims ==
|
||||
IARR proclaims a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion and also to expanding access to researchers and research populations beyond Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, Democratic (WEIRD) nations, as a way of better understanding relationship processes. According to the organization's website (as of May 8, 2024), "it is imperative that the experiences of diverse people and relationship styles and structures are understood through the lens of a myriad of cultures and disciplines." The organization further states that, "Geographical, linguistic, and cultural diversity are essential for understanding how interpersonal relationships are experienced across the globe."

The International Association of Mathematical Physics (IAMP) was founded in 1976 to promote research in mathematical physics. It brings together research mathematicians and theoretical physicists, including students. The association's ordinary members are individual researchers, although associate membership is available to organizations and companies. The IAMP is governed by an executive committee elected by the ordinary members.
|
||||
The association sponsors the International Congress on Mathematical Physics (ICMP), which takes place every three years, and it also supports smaller conferences and workshops. There is a quarterly news bulletin.
|
||||
IAMP currently awards two kinds of research prizes in mathematical physics at its triannual meetings, the Henri Poincaré Prize (created in 1997) and the Early Career Award (created in 2009).
|
||||

The International Bulb Society was founded on May 31, 1933 and is an international society dedicated to informing the public about the science, cultivation, conservation and botany of geophytic plants, commonly known as bulbs.
|
||||
It began in 1933 as the American Amaryllis Society, publishing its first yearbook (Year Book, American Amaryllis Society) in 1934. One of its founders was Hamilton Traub, who edited the yearbook in its early days. Two years later (1936) the title was changed to Herbertia. Later the society was renamed the American Plant Life Society, and its yearbook was called Plant Life. Amaryllis Year Book. In 1984 Plant Life became Herbertia again. The society became inactive in January 2014.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
== Awards ==
|
||||
The Herbert Medal - the society awards this medal to people who have made outstanding contributions to the study of geophytic plants.
|
||||

The International Centre for Hydrogen Energy Technologies (ICHET) was a project of the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO). Its role was to support, demonstrate and promote viable implementations of hydrogen energy technologies with the aims of enhancing future economic development, particularly in emerging countries. Founded through a Trust Fund Agreement signed between UNIDO and the Turkish Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources in 2003 in Vienna, ICHET started operation in 2004 and closed down in December 2012. For the rest of the 2010s hydrogen was hardly in Turkey’s energy policy.

The International Centre for Low Dose Radiation Research (ICLDRR) was established at the University of Ottawa, in 1997, with national and international support. The ICLDRR assembles all published data and conducts analyses concerning the effects of low doses of radiation on humans and in the environment. ICLDRR's main focus is to contribute to clarifying whether low and very low doses of ionizing radiation increase the risk of cancer. To that end, the ICLDRR has assembled and analysed virtually all published data on cancer induction in laboratory animals by low doses of ionizing radiation, and published initial findings at specialized international conferences, since 1998.
|
||||
The foremost contribution of the ICLDRR is the setup of a radiation low-dose mammal-experiment database. Their results have been used in support of the radiation hormesis hypothesis, wherein low-dose radiation may actually be beneficial for health. They were quoted in a famous report by the French Academies as evidence that this effect takes place in 40% of low-dose animal experiments.
|
||||
The work at ICLDRR is funded by several actors of the nuclear industry such as the United States Department of Energy, Électricité de France, Cogema Resources, Inc. (Canada) or the Central Research Institute of the Electric Power Industry (Japan).

The International Committee on Anthropogenic Soils (ICOMANTH) was a committee active between 1995 and 2013 concerned with classifying soils derived from human activity. According to the National Resources Conservation Service, the committee’s major contribution was "improving technical standards used to describe anthropogenic soils and defining the taxa to classify them". When it was founded, the committee chair was Dr. Ray Bryant, but due to career-related changes, he was succeeded by Dr. John Galbraith in 2004. The committee was considered to have completed its task by the NRCS, and several proposed changes were added to the soil taxonomy in 2014.

The International Institute of Welding (IIW) is an international scientific and engineering body for welding, brazing and related technologies. Its membership consists of the national welding societies from around the world. The Institute was founded in 1948 by 13 national societies. By 2011 its membership has expanded to 55 national welding societies.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
== Organization ==
|
||||
The general assembly of the national societies defines the policy of the institute and elects its president and a board of directors. A permanent secretariat deals with regular day-to-day activities and maintains contact with other international bodies.
|
||||
The institute has established a number of technical commissions, each one covering a relatively broad subject of welding science and technology. Under some of them there exist a number of technical sub-commissions, each one involved in a more specific aspect. The IIW participates in International Organization for Standardization (IOS) standardization activities in Technical Committee TC44 (welding and allied processes). A total of 21 ISO standards and updates have been published under the direct responsibility of IIW.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
== Authorised bodies and governance ==
|
||||
IIW operates a structured quality and governance system to ensure that education, training, qualification, and certification activities in welding engineering are harmonised across its global network. This system is based on common rules and procedures, the conformity of which is verified on a regular basis through peer assessment and oversight mechanisms established by IIW.
|
||||
In 2000, European Federation for Welding, Joining and Cutting (EWF) licensed its qualification system to the IIW. Since then, a combined EWF/IIW qualification and certification system has been implemented worldwide. Under this harmonised system, all IIW Authorised Nominated Bodies (ANBs) also operate as EWF ANBs within their respective scopes of authorisation.
|
||||
Within this framework, authorisation activities are managed by the International Authorisation Board (IAB). The IAB is responsible for approving and supervising organisations that deliver IIW education, training, qualification, and certification services. This is operated jointly with the EWF. These organisations are formally designated as Authorised Nominated Bodies (ANBs) and operate within a defined scope of authorisation.
|
||||
Each ANB is authorised to administer examinations, assess candidates, and issue IIW diplomas and certificates for specific qualification levels. In addition, ANBs are responsible for approving, monitoring, and supervising Approved Training Bodies (ATBs) that provide training courses leading to IIW qualifications. The scope of authorisation of an ANB specifies both the qualifications it is permitted to offer and the geographical territory in which it may operate. While ANBs are nominated by IIW member societies in a specific country, some ANBs are authorised to operate in more than one country or region.
|
||||
Approved Training Bodies (ATBs) deliver the education and training required for IIW diplomas under the supervision of the relevant ANB. Specific requirements apply to ATBs with regard to trainer competence, training facilities and equipment, quality management systems, and compliance with the prescribed training syllabuses. This multi-level structure supports consistency and mutual recognition of welding engineering qualifications across different countries and industrial sectors.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
== Publications ==
|
||||
The Institute publishes Welding in the World, a bimonthly international scientific, technical and trade journal.

The International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation or ILAC started as a conference in 1977 to develop international cooperation for facilitating trade by promoting the acceptance of accredited test and calibration results. In 1996, ILAC became a formal cooperation with a charter to establish a network of mutual recognition agreements among accreditation bodies that would fulfil this aim.
|
||||
The ultimate aim of the ILAC is increased use and acceptance by industry as well as government of the results from accredited laboratories, including results from laboratories in other countries. In this way, the free-trade goal of a 'product tested once and accepted everywhere' can be realised.

The International Partnership for Microbicides or IPM was a non-profit product development partnership (PDP) founded by Dr. Zeda Rosenberg in 2002 to prevent HIV transmission by accelerating the development and availability of a safe and effective microbicide for use by women in developing countries.
|
||||
Since its inception, IPM had focused on developing HIV-prevention products for women including gels, films, tablets and rings that contain antiretroviral (ARV)-based microbicides. Rights to incorporate existing ARVs into products developed specifically for use in developing countries had been negotiated with pharmaceutical companies working in the HIV field.
|
||||
In October 2022, IPM's intellectual property, grant agreements and assets were transferred to the Population Council.

The International Society for Research on Aggression (abbreviated ISRA) is an international learned society dedicated to scientific research on all aspects of human aggressive behavior. It was established in August 1972 in Tokyo, Japan, by a group of academics who were there to attend the 20th Annual International Congress of Psychology. The Society was co-founded by Saul Rosenzweig and John Paul Scott, who served as its first and second president, respectively. Its official journal is Aggressive Behavior, which is published by John Wiley & Sons. The current president of the society is Barbara Krahé.

The International Society on Oxygen Transport to Tissue (ISOTT) is an interdisciplinary society of approximately 300 members that represents essentially every major tissue oxygen research laboratory in the world. Its purpose is to further the understanding of all aspects of the processes involved in the oxygen transport from the air to its ultimate consumption in the cells of the various organs of the body.
|
||||
ISOTT was founded in April 1973 by Duane F. Bruley, Ph.D., P.E. and James Haim I. Bicher, M.D. They also served as the first co-presidents of the Clemson-Charleston founding meeting. At that meeting, Dr. Melvin H. Knisely served as the first honorary president of the society. The first elected president was Dr. Gerhard Thews. The Society has been the leading platform for the presentation of many of the technological and conceptual developments within the field both at the meetings themselves and in the proceedings of the society. These have been published by Plenum Publishers in 1973, then Kluwer Academic/Plenum Publishers, and then Kluwer Academic Publishers and lately by Springer in its Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology series.
|
||||
Examples of areas in which members have made highly significant contributions include electrode techniques, spectrophotometric methods, mathematical modeling of oxygen transport, the understanding of local regulation of oxygen supply to tissue and fluorocarbons/blood substitutes.
|
||||
Since 1983 ISOTT has established awards to acknowledge outstanding young investigators. Among those are the Melvin H. Knisely Award, the Dietrich W. Lübbers Award, The Duane F. Bruley Awards, and The Britton Chance Award.

The International Union of Radio Science (abbreviated URSI, after its French name, Union radio-scientifique internationale) is one of 26 international scientific unions affiliated to the International Council for Science (ICSU), devoted to radio science.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
== History and objectives ==
|
||||
URSI was officially created in 1919, during the Constitutive Assembly of the International Research Council (now ICSU), based on the earlier French: Commission Internationale de Telegraphie sans Fil (1913–1914) when the only radio communication system was radiotelegraphy. It has held a general assembly every three years from 1922. Fifty years ago URSI was one of the most important promoters of the International Geophysical Year.
|
||||
In addition to publishing the open access journal URSI Radio Science Letters, it sponsors the journals Advances in Radio Science, Journal of Atmospheric and Solar-Terrestrial Physics, and Radio Science, last of which is co-sponsored by the American Geophysical Union.
|
||||
URSI's original objective (to encourage "scientific studies of radiotelegraphy, especially those which require international cooperation") has been broadened to include all radio science, from telecommunications to radio astronomy, acquisition of radar information about distant passive objects, studies of the radiation stimulated or spontaneously emitted by these objects, biological effects of electromagnetic radiation and active modification of objects by radio waves, within the spectrum from extremely low frequency to the optical domain.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
== Commissions ==
|
||||
Commission A: Electromagnetic Metrology
|
||||
Commission B: Fields and Waves
|
||||
Commission C: Radiocommunication Systems and Signal Processing
|
||||
Commission D: Electronics and Photonics
|
||||
Commission E: Electromagnetic Environment and Interference
|
||||
Commission F: Wave Propagation and Remote Sensing
|
||||
Commission G: Ionospheric Radio and Propagation
|
||||
Commission H: Waves in Plasmas
|
||||
Commission J: Radio Astronomy
|
||||
Commission K: Electromagnetics in Biology and Medicine
|
||||
A few Commissions are engaged with international projects in cooperation with other international bodies, for example with the Committee on Space Research in the project International Reference Ionosphere.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
== Individual membership ==
|
||||
The URSI includes different individual membership grades:
|
||||
|
||||
Corresponding member (CURSI)
|
||||
Senior member, awarded to members who have a PhD, 10+ publications, and a history of involvement with the URSI

The Istituto di Genetica e Biofisica (IGB) (Institute of Genetics and Biophysics) is an integral part of the institutes of the Italian Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (National Research Council). It was founded in 1962 in Naples by the Italian geneticist Adriano Buzzati-Traverso and called Laboratorio Internazionale di Genetica e Biofisica (LIGB) (International Laboratory of Genetics and Biophysics).
|
||||
In 1968 the Laboratory came under the full control of the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, changing its name to the Istituto Internazionale di Genetica e Biofisica (IIGB) (International Institute of Genetics and Biophysics). Successively it assumed its present name of Istituto di Genetica e Biofisica.

The Jourdain Society is or was a controversial society based in the United Kingdom, its aims being "the advancement of the science of oology", the collection and study of intact birds' eggs. Established in 1922 as the British Oological Association, it changed its name in 1946 in memory of distinguished ornithologist and oologist Reverend Francis Jourdain (1865–1940). The society was a social gathering that held regular dinners, established as an elitist club, which did not admit women and professional dealers.
|
||||
Egg-collecting is the removal of intact, unhatched eggs from a birds' nest, followed by drilling out the contents to keep the egg intact. It was considered a respectable leisure pursuit in the nineteenth and early twentieth century, at a time when conservation, study and hunting were not seen as opposed activities. However the activity became extremely controversial after conservationists concluded that the taking of rare birds' eggs was a major factor in their extinction and endangerment, and that the activity lacked real scientific value. Jourdain co-founded the society after being offended by early criticism of the practice.
|
||||
In 1954, the collection of new eggs from nests was made illegal by the Protection of Birds Act, and from this point the society was widely believed to act as an information exchange for a hard core of egg-takers and their customers.
|
||||
Its membership of often wealthy collectors was monitored by the RSPB and several times raided by police. A significant event occurred in July 1994 when the society's dinner at a hotel in Salisbury was raided by police. A number of collections on display were seized, totalling 11,000 wild birds' eggs. Six members of the society were convicted.
|
||||
The society at one stage held charitable status but later ceased holding this. Records from the Charity Commission for England and Wales indicate it ceased to exist as a charity in 2001.
|
||||
Members claimed in 1994 that the society expelled members with convictions and in 1998 that the society was composed of "first-class field naturalists who carefully study breeding habits".

The Korean Sociological Association is South Korea's national academic organization for sociologists and those researching the related social sciences. It was founded in 1956 and has been publishing the Korean Journal of Sociology since 1964. In addition it organises annual symposia and workshops and hosts biannual nationwide conventions as well as quarterly seminars, and various occasional workshops. It is one of the larger of Korea's academic organizations with over 800 members.
|
||||
The role of the KSA in the development of Korean sociology is discussed by Park Myoung-Kyu and Chang Kyung-Sup (1999). In particular its role in permitting "the values and norms of scientific research to be articulated, shared and controlled". They also note the key role played by the KSA in debates about the need for relevance and indigenization.

The Leiden Bio Science Park (LBSP) is the largest life sciences cluster in the Netherlands and ranks in the top five of the most successful science parks in Europe. It is part of Leiden and Oegstgeest and focuses on companies and universities in the Biotechnology sector.
|
||||
The park comprises 110 hectares (270 acres) with over 215 organisations, including 150 Life Sciences & Health companies. The park is located mostly in Leiden and lies between Wassenaarseweg on the north and the Plesmanlaan on the south.
|
||||
The park focuses mostly on the use of biotechnology for medical and biopharmaceutical applications.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
== History ==
|
||||
The LBSP was founded in 1984 in the Leeuwenhoek area west of Leiden Central Station, between the Faculty of Science of the Leiden University and the former Academic Medical Hospital Leiden, now known as the Leiden University Medical Center (LUMC). The municipality decided that this area should primarily be focused on biotechnology.
|
||||
In 2005, the foundation Leiden Life meets Science was founded by the Leiden University, the municipality Leiden, the LUMC, the Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research (TNO), the Naturalis Biodiversity Center, Chamber of Commerce, the province South Holland, the University of Applied Sciences Leiden, and the ROC Leiden, with the purpose of growth the park in size and quality.

Lithoprobe was a Canadian national geoscience research project funded by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council from 1984 to 2005, and one of the largest geoscientific research programs in Canadian history. The project aimed to research and map the lithosphere structure and composition, and its findings were used by scientists as well as petroleum and mining companies. By the end of the project, Lithoprobe had employed more than 1,000 scientists.
|
||||
The name "Lithoprobe" is derived from "probing the lithosphere". The project used 20-tonne trucks, called vibroseis trucks and nicknamed "dancing elephants," that forced seismic waves beneath the Earth to generate geological and historical data, allowing researchers to glean information from at least 80 kilometers beneath the Earth's surface.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
== History ==
|
||||
The concept of Lithoprobe was proposed at a 1981 meeting sponsored by Canada's Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council, and the project itself launched in 1984. It was jointly funded by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council and the Geological Survey of Canada.

The Louis-Jeantet Foundation was set up in Geneva in 1982 according to the wish of the Geneva-resident French businessman Louis Jeantet, having been endowed with his fortune upon his death from cancer in 1981. The Foundation commenced activities in 1983.
|
||||
It funds the Louis-Jeantet Prize, and a number of professorships at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Geneva.
|
||||
|
||||
Inspired from the luxurious Italian houses and built in the early XXth century, the Louis-Jeantet Villa is part of the architectural heritage of the Geneva landscape. Classified as an historic building in 1983, the Villa was abandoned for a long period of time before the Louis-Jeantet Foundation decided to establish its headquarters in this unique place and to totally restore the Villa.Located in the residential area of Florissant, the Louis-Jeantet Centre opened its doors in 1998. The Centre offers both the distinction of a patrician Neo-renaissance residence and the sobriety of a contemporary Auditorium.
|
||||
The grounds of Geneva's Fondation Louis-Jeantet contain a 15 by 15 sq. m. courtyard within a sunken hortus conclusus (i.e. an enclosed garden) with an area of about 1300 sq. m.
|
||||
|
||||
In 1904 Aimée Wexel, princess Franceschi, commissioned the so-called « Helios » villa, built in the neo-renaissance style very popular in Italy at the end of the 19th century. The land was formerly part of the Rieu estate.The mansion’s name is linked to the last proprietor, Dr Henri Enach Edelstein. After his death, its conservation was the object of heated debate. It nearly burnt down in 1984, but was salvaged from demolition and entirely restored for the « Fondation Louis-Jeantet de Médecine » at the end of the 20th century. The Domino architects bureau and TER landscape designers oversaw the restoration.The mansion now houses a modern auditorium in the basement, graced by a garden excavated from the rock. These elements, invisible from the road (route de Florissant), offer a secluded area inspired by Mogol gardens of Rajasthan.

Fostering international scientific and educational collaborations is among LNI's priorities. The Institute has been named in honor of Alexander Luria, one of the founding fathers of modern neuropsychology as a scientific discipline. LNI is based in New York City and is directed by Elkhonon Goldberg, a student and close associate of Alexander Luria.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
== Research activities ==
|
||||
LNI has supported and continues to support a number of research collaborations in the areas of cognitive and clinical neurosciences. These include the function and dysfunction of the frontal lobes, cognitive impairment in Parkinson's disease, shared genetic/epigenetic causation of psychiatric disorders and dementias, and others. In keeping with the LNI's priorities, these collaborations involve scientists both in leading North American and European universities.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
== Educational activities ==
|
||||
Luria Neuroscience Institute is offering several neuropsychology courses about the brain and brain disorders of potential interest both to the mental health professionals and the general educated public. The programs are offered in New York City.

The Masurian Institute (Polish: Instytut Mazurski) in Olsztyn was a scientific research body established in 1943 during World War II in German-occupied Poland in Radość near Warsaw by the underground Masurian Union (Związek Mazurski). In 1945 the headquarters moved to Olsztyn, the main city of the Masurian movement.
|
||||
Its purpose was to undertake all kinds of research relating to the regions of Warmia and Masuria. Its main publication, which still continues, is the quarterly Komunikaty Warmińsko-Mazurskie, considered by the State Committee for Scientific Research to be one of the most important Polish historical journals.
|
||||
In 1948 the Masurian Institute became the scientific branch of the Western Institute in Poznań, and since 1953 part of the Polish Historical Society. In 1961 the Fundacja Naukowa im. Wojciecha Kętrzyńskiego (Wojciech Kętrzyński Scientific Foundation) was established in Olsztyn and took over some of the resources and staff of the Masurian Institute. In 1963 the organisation changed its name to the Ośrodek Badań Naukowych im. Wojciecha Kętrzyńskiego w Olsztynie (Wojciech Kętrzyński Scientific Research Centre in Olsztyn), now the Instytut Północny im. Wojciecha Kętrzyńskiego (Wojciech Kętrzyński Northern Institute).

The former Max Planck Institute for Behavioral Physiology was located in Bulldern, Westphalia, Germany, moved to Seewiesen in 1957. It was one of 80 institutes in the Max Planck Society (Max Planck Gesellschaft).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
== Background ==
|
||||
A working group was founded in 1954 by Erich von Holst (Max Planck Institute for Oceanic biology, Wilhelmshaven) and Konrad Lorenz. In 1958 it moved into new buildings in Seewiesen. After working from 1951 to 1965, Irenaeus Eibl-Eibesfeldt became director of the institute in 1975. It became an independent institute 1987. In 1997 the Max Planck Society was required to cut its budget and four institutes, including the Behavioral Physiology unit, were chosen for closure, reportedly because their directors were nearing retirement and not due to any failures in scientific research. A part of it survived as the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology.

The Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology (German: Max-Planck-Institut für ethnologische Forschung) is a scientific research institute founded in 1999 in Halle, Germany. It is one of the institutes of the Max Planck Society.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
== Organization ==
|
||||
The institute consists of three departments and several independent research groups.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
=== Law and Anthropology ===
|
||||
Headed by Prof. Dr. Marie-Claire Foblets, the Department of Law and Anthropology was established in 2012 to focus on the effects of societies and cultures towards law and politics and vice versa. This department also carefully looks how scholars of this specific discipline can and should take responsibility for implications surrounding the interplay of these societal factors.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
=== Anthropology of Politics and Governance ===
|
||||
Headed by Prof. Dr. Ursula Rao, the Department of Anthropology of Politics and Governance brings together a group of successful scholars undertaking research in form of in-depth case studies in Asia, Africa and Europe about the tactics, strategies, and motivations that shape political action in times of perceived crisis to study programmes and initiatives that aim to shape the future by proposing new ways of managing complexity and caring for relations in a more-than-human world.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
=== Anthropology of Economic Experimentation ===
|
||||
Headed by Prof. Dr. Biao Xiang, the Department of Anthropology of Economic Experimentation focuses on a wide range of political economy issues, including state-society relations, labour, social reproduction, and mobility governance, through the lens of migration.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
== Max Planck Law ==
|
||||
The institute (department of law and anthropology) is part of the research network Max Planck Law.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
== Management ==
|
||||
The Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology is mainly represented by the following people:
|
||||
Directors
|
||||
|
||||
Prof. Dr. Marie-Claire Foblets
|

|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
== Controversies ==
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
=== Norman Finkelstein ===
|
||||
In January 2017, the Department of Law and Anthropology has invited the controversial American activist and political scientist Norman Finkelstein as a visiting scholar. The Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology has thus been criticized for providing a platform for a controversial speaker. In a statement the Max Planck Institute said that the purpose of Finkelstein's invitation to the Institute was to engage in a dialogue with him to discuss his work within an academic context. The research institute is dedicated to basic research where controversy cannot be ruled out; controversy is a "trait of academic work".
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
=== Ghassan Hage ===
|
||||
Hage was terminated by the Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology on 7 February 2024 over his comments on the Gaza war and the 2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel. On 7 October 2023, Hage published a text on his blog stating "the Palestinians, like all colonised people, are still proving that their capacity to resist is endless. They don't only dig tunnels. They can fly above walls."
|
||||
The Max Planck Society published a press release, stating that many of the views he had shared via social media after the 2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel are incompatible with their core values and that "racism, anti-Semitism, islamophobia, discrimination, hatred and agitation have no place in the Max Planck Society". Hage rejected any accusation in a statement.
|
||||
Following the dismissal, global academic communities, including Israeli scholars, the German Association of Social and Cultural Anthropology, the British Society for Middle Eastern Studies, the European Association of Social Anthropologists, the American Anthropological Association, the Council for Humanities, Arts and Sciences and the Australian Anthropological Society rallied in support of Hage, urging the society to reverse its decision.

The Midwestern Universities Research Association (MURA) was a consortium of 15 universities formed to design and build a particle accelerator in the Midwestern United States. Active from 1953 to 1967, the association ultimately did not achieve its goal and lost funding. It is believed that President John F. Kennedy would have supported the MURA project, whereas one of President Lyndon B. Johnson’s first actions was to shut down the MURA machine and laboratory.
|
||||
|
||||
In its early years, Donald Kerst served as director of MURA. At the institution, Keith Symon independently invented the FFAG accelerator, alongside Tihiro Ohkawa. This design combined principles from both cyclotrons and synchrotrons. FFAG concepts were extensively developed at MURA. The proposed accelerators were scaling FFAG synchrotrons, meaning that particle orbits at different momenta were geometrically similar—essentially scaled versions of each other.
|
||||
The concept of FFAG acceleration was revived in the early 1980s and continues to attract interest today—for example, in projects such as EMMA (accelerator).

|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
== Description ==
|
||||
|
||||
The museum is named for Monte Lafayette Bean, a self-made Seattle-based magnate who entirely funded and paid for the building's construction. He also donated many of his own animal trophies to the collection. The Bean Museum opened on March 28, 1978, and is accredited by the American Alliance of Museums. It maintains collections of vascular and non-vascular plants, and invertebrate and vertebrate animals. Before 1978, it was known as the BYU Life Sciences Museum and did not have its own building. The Bean Museum now houses the Liger Shasta who lived at the Hogle Zoo from when she was born on May 6, 1948, till when she died, on July 12, 1972.
|
||||
Admission to the three-story museum is free of charge and over 100,000 unique visitors come to see the over 2 million specimens of insects, plants, reptiles, fish, shells, and birds.

The National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq, Portuguese: Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico, earlier Conselho Nacional de Pesquisas) is a government agency under the Ministry of Science and Technology of the Brazilian federal government. The council is dedicated to the promotion of scientific and technological research and to the formation of human resources for research in the country.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
== Background ==
|
||||
The main attributes that the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq) see towards is the national development of Brazilian researchers and institutes, while developing recognition it wants on a global scale. The CNPq was started in 1951, and has a leading role in conducting and formulating research about technology, science and also innovation on current topics such as artificial intelligence and others. The goal of the CNPq is to promote science, technology and innovation and act in the formulation of their policies which thereby will lead to taking the frontier in knowledge, national sovereignty and sustainable development. By doing this, they are on the road to being recognized for their excellence and development not only in these elements but for the country as a whole.

The National Environmental Research Institute of Denmark, abbreviated NERI, (Danish: Danmarks Miljøundersøgelser, abbreviated DMU) was an independent research institute under the Ministry of the Environment. It was created in 1989 by merging the existing laboratories of the Environmental Protection Agency, which covered marine, freshwater and air pollution, soil ecology and analytical chemistry, with the Danish Wildlife Research, under the Ministry of Agriculture. The laboratories were physically located on Risø, in Silkeborg and on Kalø, north of Aarhus. In 1995, Greenland Biological Research laboratory was added.
|
||||
The research institute was detached from the ministry in 2007 and merged into Aarhus University as a separate unit with largely unchanged tasks and responsibilities. On 1 July 2011, it was reorganized, renamed and lost status as a separate entity. The research departments were divided between the Department of Bioscience and the Department of Environmental Science, while the secretariat and coordination of consultancy services to the Ministry of Environment was placed in the Danish Centre for Environment and Energy (abbreviated DCE).
|
||||
The institute participated in a large number of national and international research programmes, and also in scientific working groups, commissions, and organizations under such bodies as the European Union and the United Nations. It also undertook scientific consultancy work and monitoring of nature and the environment as well as applied and strategic research. Its primary task was to establish a scientific foundation for environmental policy decisions. All tasks were transferred to and continue in the Danish Centre for Environment and Energy and the two research departments.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
== Departments ==
|
||||
By its reorganisation in 2011, the National Environmental Research Institute of Denmark was organised in the following research departments:
|
||||
|
||||
Department of Policy Analysis
|
||||
Department of Atmospheric Environment
|
||||
Department of Environmental Chemistry and Microbiology
|
||||
Department of Marine Ecology
|
||||
Department of Arctic Environment
|
||||
Department of Terrestrial Ecology
|
||||
Department of Freshwater Ecology
|
||||
Department of Ecology and Biodiversity
|
||||
During the reorganisation, the first three groups formed the Department of Environmental Sciences and the latter five the Department of Bioscience.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
== Department of Atmospheric Environment ==
|
||||
The department monitors air pollution in Denmark and Greenland, and works with mathematical atmospheric dispersion models to describe transport, transformation and deposition of air pollutants. The models range in spatial resolution from local air pollution in a single street, to both nationwide and global air pollution. The department also compiles Danish emission inventories as part of Denmark's obligations in accordance with international conventions, and participates in many international collaboration networks within the field of air pollution, and it hosts websites for several such networks.
|
||||
The Department of Atmospheric Environment has a staff of over 65 scientists and researchers who conduct work within the following fields:
|
||||
|
||||
Monitoring and mapping of the air quality in Denmark and the Arctic.
|
||||
Research, development and application of atmospheric chemical dispersion models.
|
||||
Studying air pollution scenarios and prognoses as well as air pollution from vehicular traffic.
|
||||
Studies, analyses, and models for the transport, transformation, and fate of toxic air pollutants.

|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
== History ==
|
||||
On December 13, 1990, a research and development unit called the National Information Processing Institute was established. It was created as a successor to the Centre for Scientific, Technical and Economic Information (CINTE), based on Directive No. 12 of the Minister – Head of the Office for Scientific and Technical Progress and Implementation.
|
||||
On October 23, 2013, the Council of Ministers granted the Institute the status of a national research institute.
|
||||
The Institute is headquartered in Warsaw in two buildings located at 188B and 186 Niepodległości Avenue. These buildings have an interesting history—after World War II, they housed, among others, the Central Board of the Building Materials Industry.
|
||||
Between 1980 and 1990, the buildings were home to the Centre for Scientific, Technical and Economic Information (CINTE), a research and development center whose work encompassed the full spectrum of scientific information topics—from theoretical issues to practical applications of information technologies. CINTE also published several materials, including the "Polish Science Information Bulletin."

The National Time Service Center (NTSC; Chinese: 国家授时中心) is a public institute under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, responsible for generating, maintaining, and broadcasting standard time in China. It is located in Xi'an, Shaanxi, China. Its predecessor was the Shaanxi Astronomy Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, which was established in 1966 and renamed the National Time Service Center in March 2001. The center is China's only statutory agency for issuing national standard time and frequency.
|
||||
NTSC includes short-wave (BPM) and long-wave (BPL) standard time and frequency radio stations. And in 2007, low-frequency (BPC) time signal station began trial broadcasting from Shangqiu.
|
||||
In October 2025, China's national security authorities released the technical investigation report on the series of major cyber attacks carried out by the National Security Agency of the United States against the National Time Service Center from March 2022 to July 2024.

The Navigational Aids for the History of Science, Technology, and the Environment Project (NAHSTE) was a research archives/manuscripts cataloguing project based at the University of Edinburgh. Following a proposal led by Arnott Wilson in 1999, the project received £261,755 funding from the Research Support Libraries Programme (RSLP) from 2000 until 2002.
|
||||
The project was designed to access a variety of outstanding collections of archives and manuscripts held at the three partner Higher Education Institutions (HEIs); the University of Edinburgh, University of Glasgow and Heriot-Watt University and to make them accessible on the Internet. The project additionally included linkages to related records held by non-HEI collaborators.
|
||||
Descriptions of the material conform to ISAD(G) (Second edition), whilst information about key individuals conform to ISAAR(CPF). Catalogues were tagged using the Encoded Archival Description XML standard.
|
||||
Although the project was completed in 2002, the resulting web service continues to be hosted at Edinburgh.

The North Staffordshire Field Club was an organisation founded in 1865 to study the natural history, geology, industrial history, folklore and local history of North Staffordshire, England. Its establishing president from 1865-70 was industrialist and banker James Bateman FRS.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
== History ==
|
||||
The club was founded in 1865 at a meeting convened at the North Staffordshire Infirmary by W.D. Spanton, as the North Staffordshire Naturalists Field Club. It became the North Staffordshire Naturalists Field Club and Archaeological Society in 1877, and shortened its name to North Staffordshire Field Club in 1897.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
== Publications ==
|
||||
The organisation produced its first printed book, Annual addresses, papers, etc. Author, North Staffordshire Field Club, in 1875, having previously published a short Annual Report for members. A history of the early years was published by R. Simms in 1886 as Coming of age of the North Staffordshire Naturalists' Field Club and Archaeological Society, 1865-1885: chronological history and bibliography of the Society. A further extensive history, including that of the various specialist sections, can be found in the Club's special 1916 Jubilee year publication. The annual Transactions were then titled North Staffordshire Field Club, Transactions and Annual Report (to 1960); this later became the North Staffordshire Journal of Field Studies (1961 to 1985) when the title ceased. A further New Series of separate Transactions with section reports was produced in booklet form from 1970-2000.
|
||||
A detailed scientific survey of The Birds of Staffordshire was issued as appendices 1-9 to the Transactions and Annual report of the North Staffordshire Field Club (Vol. 64 in 1930, to Vol. 72 in 1938).
|
||||
The records and publications of the Club are held at the Staffordshire Record Office and other libraries. An index to the 1961 to 1985 run of the Journal of Field Studies was published in the first issue of Staffordshire Studies journal.
|
||||
The Club's Journal was extant until at least 2000.
|
||||
At 2020, the archive website The North Staffordshire Field Club (1865—2003) and its legacy offers a partial bibliographic record for the Club.

The Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE) is an asset of the U.S. Department of Energy that provides expertise in STEM workforce development, scientific and technical reviews, and the evaluation of radiation exposure and environmental contamination. Located in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, ORISE was established in 1992 to support DOE's mission by prepare the next generation of STEM professionals and by collaborating with the DOE Office of Science and other DOE programs, federal agencies, the scientific community, and industry to address scientific initiatives.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
== Overview ==
|
||||
The ORISE mission is focused on five areas that support the U.S. Department of Energy's overall mission. Mission areas include recruiting and preparing the next generation of the United States scientific workforce; promoting sound scientific and technical investment decisions through independent peer reviews; facilitating and preparing for the medical management of radiation incidents around the world; evaluating health outcomes in individuals exposed to chemical and radiological hazards; and ensuring public confidence in environmental cleanup through independent environmental verification activities.
|
||||
|
||||
The Radiation Emergency Assistance Center/Training Site (REAC/TS) operates as a part of ORISE. REAC/TS provides emergency response and subject matter expertise on the medical management of radiation incidents for the National Nuclear Security Administration’s Office of Counterterrorism and Counterproliferation. A cytogenetics biodosimetry laboratory was established within ORISE to provide capabilities for measuring radiation dose and to conduct research to improve techniques for determining the doses received by victims of radiological accidents.
|
||||
REAC/TS is designated as a Pan American Health Organization/World Health Organization Collaborating Centre, which are key institutions that provide expertise and function as an extension of the international public health agency’s mission to improve health outcomes for all people. ORISE is managed by Oak Ridge Associated Universities. Its operations are overseen by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory Site Office.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
== History ==
|
||||
Elements of the DOE asset now known as Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education were originally conceived by University of Tennessee physics professor Dr. William G. Pollard to cultivate a peacetime purpose for the nuclear science generated by the Manhattan Project. This vision became a reality on October 17, 1946, when the Oak Ridge Institute of Nuclear Studies received a charter of incorporation from the state of Tennessee. Although the name later changed to Oak Ridge Associated Universities, the organization's mission generally remained the same as the programs it managed evolved over time.
|
||||
In 1992, DOE consolidated many of these legacy programs into what became known as ORISE. DOE selected ORAU to manage the initial ORISE contract and has continuously managed ORISE for more than 30 years. DOE established ORISE with an operating budget of $75 million, encompassing programs long-managed for DOE by ORAU in science education, training, and environmental/occupational health.

Oak Ridge School of Reactor Technology (ORSORT) was the successor of the school known locally as the Clinch College of Nuclear Knowledge, later shorten to Clinch College. ORSORT was authorized and financed by the U.S. government and founded in 1950 by Admiral Hyman G. Rickover and Alvin Weinberg. During its existence, the school was the only educational venue in the U.S. from where a comprehensive twelve-month education and training in either "Reactor Hazards Analysis" or "Reactor Operations" could be obtained, with accompanying certificates. Funding ended and the school was closed in 1965, shortly after authorization was extended to select U.S. universities to develop their own Nuclear Engineering curricula. Housed at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, this unique venue and its renowned instructors offered its students the highest level of education of practical applications of atomic energy available at the time, and first-hand exposure to a variety of nuclear reactor designs including the legendary first graphite reactor, pool reactor, high temperature gas reactor, molten salt reactor, fast reactor and high flux reactor.
|
||||
The school was made known first nationally and eventually worldwide to U.S. enterprises and to U.S. allies involved in the development of peaceful uses of atomic energy, and who were interested in educating and training designated scientific and engineering personnel at its unique venue. In 1959, ORSORT accepted its first international enrollments. Applications to enroll required strict clearance from the Atomic Energy Commission. Tuition fees partially offset school operating costs. Courses listed in their 1965 curricula included Analysis, Chemical Technology, Economics of Nuclear Power, Engineering Science, Experimental Physics, Nuclear Systems Laboratory, Hazards Study, Health Physics, Instrumentation and Controls, Materials, Mathematics, Meteorology, Physics, Reactor Operating Experience and Shielding. Scientific and engineering graduates of the one-year program earned certificates of completion and were awarded the degree of Doctor of Pile Engineering (D.O.P.E.). ORSORT turned out up to 100 graduates a year, many of whom became leaders in the nuclear industry, such as a former Secretary of Energy, James D. Watkins. The total number of ORSORT graduates was 976. In addition to 19 US students from the Atomic Energy Commission, the Oak Ridge National Laboratory and US utilities, the last graduating class of 1965 included engineering and scientific personnel sponsored by their governments in Australia, India, Israel, Japan, Netherlands, Pakistan, Philippines and South Africa.
