Science Academy was established on November 25, 2011 in Istanbul as an independent non-governmental organization to promote, practice and uphold the principles of scientific merit, freedom and integrity.

As all such academies across the world, Science Academy is an institution which defends the principles of scientific merit, freedom and integrity independently of governments’ policies. Like any esteemed academy, we are here to bring together the most accomplished scientists of our country within and around the independent Science Academy in order to promote and preserve scientific excellence, scientific methods, traditions and procedures, as well as scientific freedom and integrity, in brief, to represent and sustain the spirit of science.
