The International Academy of Natural Sciences is a large non-governmental scientific organization existing in the form of an autonomous non-profit organization registered in Moscow (Russia). The Academy was founded in 1995 as the «Academy of Natural History», better known as the «Russian Academy of Natural History». In 2025, due to a significant expansion of international cooperation and an increase in the scale of its activities, the Academy adopted a new official name - the International Academy of Natural Sciences.
The Academy has become one of the most respected and rapidly growing non-governmental scientific institutions, successfully operating not only in Russia, but also in the international arena. It includes more than 11 thousand scientists and specialists from Russia and more than 30 countries of the world, who hold the academic titles of academicians, corresponding members, professors and advisers of the Academy. The Academy is distinguished by high standards and strict selection criteria for assigning academic titles, which ensures its academicians and corresponding mebers for the most qualified and authoritative specialists in their scientific fields.

The Academy’s international cooperation ensures the capacity to provide authoritative and comprehensive evaluation of scientific results within a single organization, significantly accelerating the attainment of research objectives.
The Academy actively develops its publishing activities. Since 1995, it has published more than 1,000 scientific monographs. The Academy issues 27 reputable international and all-Russian peer-reviewed journals to date. Among the most authoritative journals included in the list of the Higher Attestation Commission (HAC) of the Russian Ministry of Science and Higher Education are the following:
• «Fundamental research» (category Q1);
• «Modern science-intensive technologies» (category Q1);
• «Achievements of modern natural science» (category Q2);
• «Modern problems of science and education» (category Q2).
The Academy maintains a consistent presence at leading international exhibitions and scientific forums, serving to publicize its members' accomplishments, foster scientific linkages among global researchers, and enhance international collaborative networks.
The Academy places special emphasis on systematizing scientific knowledge by maintaining two international electronic encyclopedias: «Famous Scientists» (featuring biographies of over 16,000 scientists and specialists worldwide) and «Leading Scientific Schools». These encyclopedias are reprinted annually in print format. Additionally, the Academy continuously works to identify and formalize emerging research fields, particularly at interdisciplinary intersections. The outcomes of this work are published in a specialized «Register of New Scientific Directions».
The Academy prioritizes the continuity of scientific knowledge and the education of emerging researchers through its annual international programs: the «Start in Science» school research competition and the «Student Science Forum» conference. These events engage thousands of international participants, facilitating cross-generational knowledge transfer and advancing scientific collaboration.
