The Academy of Sciences of Albania (Albanian: Akademia e Shkencave e Shqipërisë), founded in 1972, is the most important scientific institution in Albania.[1] In the 1980s, several research institutes began at the University of Tirana were transferred to the Academy's jurisdiction.[2] The institution includes the most distinguished scientists, also called "academics", that are involved in research centers and other organisations inside and outside Albania. As of 2009[update], the Academy had 23 regular members,[3] 10 associated members,[4] one permanent member,[5] and 26 honor members.[6]

The Academy was among several dozen of the world's scientific academies which endorsed through signature the Summit Statement emerging from the New Delhi Population Summit of 1994.[7]

## Organization[edit]

The Academy is composed of two sections:

* Social Sciences and Albanological Section
* Natural and Technical Sciences Section

It also includes the following units:

* Projects of Technological and Innovation Development,
* Branch for Foreign and Public Relations,
* Library[8]
* Publishing

The Academy of Sciences of Albania has the country's largest academic library. Founded in 1975 starting with 10,000 volumes, it included 812,000 volumes by 1986.[9]

In 2008, funding for most research functions of the academy was withdrawn, those research functions subsequently transferred to universities and research centers.[10] Four research institutes which were separated from the Academy joined to form the Centre of Albanological Studies.[10][11]
