The academy identifies outstanding scientists in systems and cybernetics and elects them as academicians.
[1] The members of the Academy conduct workshops and speak at conferences[2] about advances in the field.
[3][4] IASCYS was founded to honor and activate outstanding members of the systems and cybernetics community.
IASCYS was created to build bridges among the member associations, to identify the most qualified scientists and practitioners in the field in order to invite them as keynote speakers to conferences, to recognize systems and cybernetics as sciences equal to other sciences, and to create links among the leading members of the systems and cybernetics community with the intent to aid and promote the development of these fields.
[6][7] Two missions of the IASCYS are, through coordination of the actions of the member associations, to create an internationally accepted curriculum in systems and cybernetics and to create an auditing process aimed at validation and promotion of education in systems and cybernetics.
