About the Academy

Welcome to the North Dakota Academy of Science. This website serves as the coordinating hub for the Academy.

The North Dakota Academy of Science was founded in 1908. In 1948, the Proceedings of the North Dakota Academy of Science (an annual collection of papers, abstracts, and business of the Academy) was first published. In 1958, the original association became the state's first official science academy.

As the state's science academy, our mission is:

To promote and conduct scientific research and to disseminate scientific knowledge.

To achieve this mission, membership in the Academy is open to all persons who share this stated purpose of the Academy and who are active or interested in some field of scientific endeavor.
