About The World Academy of Sciences (TWAS)

TWAS was established in 1983 by a prominent group of scientists from the developing world, led by Pakistani physicist and Nobel laureate Abdus Salam.

They shared the view that developing countries could address difficulties such as hunger, sickness, and poverty by strengthening their scientific and engineering capabilities.

The Academy received critical early support from Italian scientists and political leaders.
