As one of the leading voices for science worldwide, AAAS spearheads initiatives in science policy, international cooperation and diplomacy, STEM education, public engagement and more. We strive to promote and defend the integrity of science and its use, provide a voice for science on societal issues and strengthen and diversify the science and technology workforce.
Most of all, we support science, technology, engineering and mathematics as solutions to many of the challenges the world faces today.
Philanthropic support helps AAAS:
- Increase the participation of people from under-represented groups in STEM fields;
- Assess and communicate the potential impacts of legislation and Federal funding decisions;
- Enhance international relations and security through collaboration and science diplomacy; and
- Encourage dialogue between scientists and non-scientists on some of the most pressing issues of our day.
