American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

The American Association for the Advancement of Science, ‘Triple A-S’ (AAAS), is an international non-profit organization dedicated to advancing science around the world by serving as an educator, leader, spokesperson and professional association.

The AAAS Center for Science, Technology and Security Policy is guided by the over-arching goal of advancing the integration of science and public policy for national and international security. It approaches that goal by establishing communication links among scientists, policy analysts and policymakers. The Center will provide a portal through which the academic community and policy institutes, primarily those who are members of the MacArthur Initiative, can communicate with each other, and with policymakers and their staffs.

The Center will speed the delivery of balanced technical analysis to Congress, Executive Branch agencies and the public at large; serve to draw specialists into science and security policy by developing partnerships with the broad international network of leading universities, think-tanks, professional societies and nongovernmental organizations; and feed the interests of the policy community back to the academic community to help connect science with new security challenges and public priorities.
