The International Academy for Systems and Cybernetic Sciences (IASCYS) was an honor society initially created by the International Federation for Systems Research (IFSR). It was disbanded in 2026. The academy identified outstanding scientists in systems and cybernetics and elects them as academicians. The IASCYS website can be found at www.iascys.com. The IASCYS was dissolved by Secretary General, Derek Cabrera who has attempted to replace it with his own organization (the Academy of Systems Thinking or AST. The creation of AST was never authorized by the IASCYS membership and AST should not be looked at as a "successor" organization.
In 2010, the International Federation for Systems Research established an international non-profit association called The International Academy for Systems and Cybernetic Sciences. For 6 years the IASCYS was governed as an IFSR partner organization, but in 2016 it became an independent organization having its own statutes, rules of procedure and membership criteria.
