Libanon: ASL - The Lebanese Academy of Sciences

Forschungsorganisationen und Fachgesellschaften Politikberatung

The Académie des Sciences du Liban (ASL) is an independent and nonprofit institution founded by a decree from the Lebanese Government in August of 2007.

The ASL aims to play a central role in Lebanon’s scientific life, similar to that played by national academies of sciences in many countries. The ultimate goals of the ASL are to contribute directly to the growth, invigoration, and dissemination of the sciences in Lebanon, and to help in growing a world-class scientific culture that is both universal in its aspirations and responsive to the particular needs of the nation.

Much like the venerable French Academy of Sciences, which has solicitously shepherded the new academy from its conception to its inception, the ASL, as is declared in its charter, seeks to achieve the above-stated general goals by

  • Providing independent advice and guidance to governmental and private institutions on matters of scientific research and education.
  • Encouraging, initiating and aiding research and educational programs in the sciences.
  • Helping the dissemination and promulgation of the results of scientific research.
  • Facilitating the exchange of ideas and results with similar institutions around the world.
  • Bestowing awards and honors on distinguished scientists.
  • Exhorting young Lebanese men and women to consider careers in the sciences.
  • Strengthening the links between the sciences and society by addressing the needs of the population, public health, the economy and the environment.
