I. Basic Information

Founded in 2015, the International Engineering and Technology Institute (IETI) is a non-profit, non-religious, and non-political international academic organization that stands as a paragon of excellence and innovation in the global academic community. Our commitment is to advance the frontiers of engineering and technology through interdisciplinary collaboration and research distinction.

Our distinguished membership includes laureates of prestigious awards such as the Nobel Prize, Turing Award, Fields Medal, Wolf Prize, John Bates Clark Medal, MacArthur Fellowship, Oscar Award, and King Faisal International Prize. These members bring extraordinary achievements and leadership that significantly impact the academic and scientific world.

The core strength of IETI is derived from its members who represent some of the world's most prestigious institutions, including the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Harvard University, University of Oxford, University of Cambridge, University of California - Berkeley, Princeton University, Stanford University, Columbia University, Yale University, Imperial College London, University of Chicago, and many others. Their expertise and experience in various fields fuel the growth and development of IETI.

Under the IETI umbrella are two key affiliate organizations: The International Research Institute of Economic Management (IRIEM) and the Institute of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence (IDSAI). These affiliates contribute significantly to in-depth research in the fields of social sciences, economics, management, artificial Intelligence, computer science and data science.

Our vision is to promote sustainable and innovative practices through the harmonious development of natural sciences, engineering sciences, technological sciences, and social sciences that intersect with engineering technology. IETI showcases the latest advancements in technology and science through forums, collaborations, and publications.

Our global influence is marked by diversified collaborations with over 200 renowned organizations across Europe, America, Africa, Oceania, and Asia. Our presence on the websites of the world's top 100 universities is a testament to our widespread recognition and impact in the global academic and technological community.

Membership and Fellowship in IETI are esteemed recognitions, representing the pinnacle of academic and research achievement in these interdisciplinary fields. Our selective, invitation-only process ensures our community consists of the most active, influential, and innovative leaders in science, technology, and engineering. Our members and fellows enjoy the privilege of working in a pure academic and research-excellence environment without any annual fees.

In summary, the International Engineering and Technology Institute is more than an organization; it is a leading force in the global science and technology arena. Our ongoing commitment to interdisciplinary research, global collaboration, and the pursuit of excellence positions us at the forefront of addressing modern world challenges and opportunities.

II. Team Presidents

In the process of management, construction and development of IETI, a presidium led by international scientists has gradually formed. At present, there are more than 10 academicians co-managed it. Some presidents include:
