Abstract   |   Authors   |   References
The article considers history of establishment and activities of the International Association of the Academies of Sciences (IAAS) and the system of scientific councils created within it. Institutional features of IAAS scientific councils are shown on the example of the Scientific Council on Protection of Intellectual Property and Technology Transfer, which plays a crucial part in the successful implementation of scientific potential of the academies of sciences and other departmental organizations (research foundations, universities, international research centers) included in the association. We show how the content of the concepts “mission of the organization” and “vision of the organization” has been transformed with regard to the activities of the Scientific Council. We analyze the topics of scientific reports, which are traditionally presented at meetings of the Scientific Council by its members and invited speakers (using the example of the reports made at the last meeting of the Scientific Council, which took place during the First Congress of the Scientific Councils of the IAAS in November 2021). We also consider integration initiatives of the Inter-Academy Council on the Development of the Union State (developing general conditions for intellectual property turnover within the framework of single innovation space, creating institutional structures oriented toward integration, etc.). We substantiate the conclusion about the paramount importance of intellectual property protection and technology transfer for further development of international scientific cooperation within the IAAS and the Inter-Academy Council on the Development of the Union State
