The International Core Academy of Sciences and Humanities known as CORE Academy, headquartered in Hong Kong, is an interdisciplinary, non-governmental, non-profit scientific organization.[1] The organization is committed to recognizing outstanding academic achievements, promoting global academic cooperation, and advancing knowledge for the benefit of humanity.[2][3]
The International Core Academy of Sciences and Humanities follows a merit-based process for the election of Fellows. Nominations may be made by current Fellows or recommended by members of the Academic Committee, and require the support of existing Fellows. Candidates' academic records undergo a preliminary review, followed by evaluation from two Fellows who assess the quality and impact of the work. The Academic Committee then considers the overall scholarly contribution before the final decision is approved by the Board.[4]
Election to the Academy's Fellowship is regarded as an internationally recognized academic honor, reflecting distinction in research, education, or leadership across the sciences and humanities.[5] The process is conducted under confidentiality to ensure impartiality, fairness, and integrity.[6]
Operations
The Academy operates as an independent non-profit organization. Its management and decision-making are guided by principles of academic autonomy and are not associated with private interests or political positions.[7] Financial support is derived from multiple sources, including membership dues, grants from international charitable foundations, funding from academic collaborations, and contributions from professional associations.[8]
