Ethiopia, Ethiopian Academy of Sciences (EAS)

The Ethiopian Academy of Sciences (EAS) was established in 2010 and recognized by Act-of-parliament in 2013 with Proclamation No. 783/2013. EAS Fellows contribute to realizing the vision of the Academy through several working groups by undertaking consensus studies, organizing conferences and workshops, recognizing excellence, and providing platforms where the scientific publications of Ethiopian scholars are made accessible to the public. The EAS embraces the diverse disciplines of science and recognizes the irreplaceable role each play in developing innovation, creativity and enriching the quality of life for Ethiopians and hence has and continues to make a concerted effort to ensure that the diverse disciplines of sciences are, as much as possible, represented in the composition of the Fellows and working groups.

The Academy is committed to assist in the national development agenda and to advance the natural and cultural heritage of the nation. As an important partner to the government, it involves relevant government institutions, ministries, universities and other organizations in its effort to achieve its goals.
