3.INTERNATIONAL UNION OF BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES (IUBS)

Introduction

The International Union of Biological Sciences (IUBS) was created in 1919. Its objectives are: to promote the study of biological sciences; to  initiate, facilitate and coordinate research capacity building and other scientific activities, which necessitate international and interdisciplinary cooperation; to ensure the discussion and dissemination of the results of cooperative research, and especially those of IUBS scientific programs; to promote the organization of international conferences and to assist the publication of their reports.

The IUBS scientific programmes are of an interdisciplinary nature. These programmes include among others, integrative biology, biodiversity (DIVERSITAS), bioethics, biotechnology, bio-indicators, biological education, biological nomenclature, biosystematics, reproductive biology and aquaculture and biological complexity.
