Presentation

The Academy of Sciences of Haiti (ASH) is a non-profit association incorporated under the Constitution of March 29, 1987 as amended, and created by the Faculty of Sciences, Engineering and Architecture (FASGA) of the Queensland University (UQ) on March 8, 2018, joined by other Haitian researchers, professors and engineers from the Public University of Artibonite Gonaïves (UPAG) represented by Professor Josper Junior Joseph. The statutes of the Academy of Sciences of Haiti are the result of a democratic and participatory assembly that took place from March 8 to 10, 2019 in four sessions of eight hours each. The statutes incorporate the definition of the objectives and functions of the academies of sciences in the postmodern world and the growing social responsibilities in the defense of sustainable development, human rights and in the formulation of public policies in favor of the development of science, its technological application and innovation in which we are committed to the development of different scientific activities of the Academy of Sciences of Haiti. These regulations guarantee institutional functioning mechanisms that allow our members to participate in a framework of plurality, tolerance and ethical respect for diversity. They precisely define the categories of members and create the conditions for discrepancies and operational difficulties that may arise in the functioning of the committees; as well as the proposal of candidates to the board of directors and the electoral campaigns are developed within a framework of ethical integrity and respect for differences of ideas.
