 IASCYS aims to honor and activate outstanding members of IFSR member-associations.While no one can apply for membership in IASCYS as an individual, every member association of the IFSR can suggest candidates in an official letter supplying data on the candidate’s scientific and professional achievements in accordance with the criteria of the IASCYS.IASCYS fills the gap resulting from the failure of national and international academies of sciences and arts to include systems and cybernetics in their list of sciences and arts.
