Organisational Structure of IEAS United Kingdom Centre

The IEAS United Kingdom Centre operates within the statutory framework of the International Eurasian Academy of Sciences. As a National Scientific Centre operating in coordination with the European Regional Scientific Centre, it constitutes one of the principal structural units of IEAS.

Hierarchical Context

The IEAS Member Assembly serves as the highest governing body of the entire Academy. Between Assemblies, the IEAS Presidium exercises governance authority. The Presidium includes the President, the Past President, the Presidents of all Regional Centres, Vice Presidents, the Chief Scientific Secretary, and the Presidents of major National Centres with at least thirty members.

Within this global structure, three Regional Scientific Centres have been established: the European-Asian Regional Scientific Centre headquartered in Moscow, the Asia-Pacific Regional Scientific Centre headquartered in Beijing, and the European Regional Scientific Centre headquartered in Helsinki. The IEAS United Kingdom Centre operates as a National Scientific Centre under the European Regional Centre while maintaining direct liaison with all three Regional Centres.
