The International Engineering and Technology Institute (IETI) was founded in 2015, dedicated to advancing research and collaboration across science, engineering, technology, and education. What sets IETI apart is the extraordinary caliber of its community: it brings together 14 Nobel Prize laureates, 5 Turing Award laureates, 3 Fields Medal laureates, 24 Wolf Prize laureates, and more than 4,000 world-class experts, ranking it among the highest-level academic networks worldwide. Spanning over 100 countries across six continents, IETI connects leading universities, research institutions, and industry experts.
Its mission spans seven pillars:
- High-end expert think tank — convening top scholars to inform global science and technology policy;
- International conferences and journals — organizing over ten conferences yearly (journals / proceedings indexed in Scopus, EI Compendex, and Web of Science) and supporting high-quality academic publications;
- Professional research and innovation — driving collaborative work through platforms such as IRIEM and IDSAI across economics, management, AI, and data science;
- Authoritative awards and honors — conferring annual Scientific and Green Awards and electing Fellows on merit;
- Industry–academia–research–application collaboration — translating research outcomes into real-world impact;
- Global open collaboration — partnering with universities and institutions worldwide to advance shared knowledge;
- Membership development and empowerment — supporting the growth, networking, and leadership of experts across their careers.
Recognized internationally, IETI has been listed in the UN DESA Civil Society Database since February 2022 and became a signatory to the UNESCO Jena Declaration in March 2024. Through strategic partnerships worldwide, it continues to promote high-level academic exchange and responsible innovation.
The main aim of IETI is to conduct collaborative interdisciplinary science, engineering and technology within its areas of expertise, and to support engineering and technology innovations to meet the needs of society. In addition to traditional science / engineering / technology disciplines, IETI includes financial engineering, financial econometrics, financial statistics, and mathematics, statistics, and social sciences and business. The following is a summary of our IETI objectives:
1-Honoring outstanding experts and scholars in various fields. Electing excellent Professors to be Fellow / Distinguished Fellow, and giving scientific awards to leading experts in the world.
2-Organizing academic activities to promote exchanges between experts and scholars around the world. Inviting experts and scholars from around the world to join international activities.
3-Providing a publishing platform for scholars from all over the world, including international conferences and journals.
4-Offering a free membership/fellowship services for researchers around the world.
