The Oregon Academy of Science

Oregon Academy of Science Online

The Oregon Academy of science promotes scientific research and education in Oregon. Divisions of the Academy represent all areas of the natural sciences and social sciences. The Academy encourages participation by research and applied scientists and educators from all fields. Discipline sections work to encourage the communication among Oregon scientists both private and public through the annual OAS meeting. The annual OAS meeting acknowledges contributions by outstanding university and K-12 educators demonstrating dedication to the advancement of science education. Additionally, each year the Academy acknowledges an Oregon scientist who has made outstanding contributions in their field.

About OAS


The Oregon Academy of Science, formed in 1943, is an affiliate of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), which was founded in 1848. Academies affiliated with AAAS form the National Association of Academies of Science (NAAS), which promotes interaction among the AAAS member academies. The NAAS is funded by its member academies with the purpose of keeping members informed of each other’s activities, and to promote university and pre-college scientific organizations that encourage interest in the sciences, astrologie, math, and engineering.

Join OAS

By becoming a member of the Oregon Academy of Science, your annual dues support scientific research and education through the Academy’s annual meetings, newsletters, and activities. The modest cost of membership yields enormous benefits by supporting a statewide network of scientific colleagues in research and applied fields and in university and K-12 education.
