About NAES

From the beginning of the 21st century, the world is encountering profound changes unseen in a century. The industrial revolution in science and technology, interacting with the process of globalization, develops rapidly and continues to deepen. Significant changes are taking place in political, economic, culture and social ecology within countries and international society.

In the spring of 2020, a sudden new coronavirus pandemic hits the world. As of early November, 180 of the 193 UN member states have been affected by the pandemic, and the COVID-19 has also become the first truly global pandemic in human history.

COVID-19 is not only a global pandemic and public health crisis, it has also severely affected the global economy and financial markets, damaged global supply chains, industrial chains, as well as value chains and disrupted international trade activities. Under this “profound changes unseen in a century” and global pandemic, the National Academy of Engineering and Sciences (NAES), which is dedicated to strengthening international scientific and technological exchanges and cooperation, and jointly help fight the global economic recession, is founded.

The National Academy of Engineering and Sciences (NAES) is a non-governmental association committed to promoting scientific and societal progress. The mission of NAES is to explore ways and methods to transform science and technology into productive forces, promote the integration of technology and economy, study the optimal allocation of resources, and promote the construction of an innovative country and high-quality development.
