The IAS was initiated 1982 through the International Council of Scientific Development (ICSD) in Munich by the three founding presidents: Robert Spaemann (LMU) (until 1987), Michael Ch. Michailov (GSF) and Reinhard Löw (LMU) with 42 scientists from LMU*, TU*, GSF*, Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities and Max Planck Society. The Munich "nucleus"  founded the international Initiating Committee (IC).

Until 1990 (foundation phase) more than 800 founding members    (inculding academicans from more than 80 National Academies of Sciences)  and over 100 Nobel Laureates signed the foundation covenant of the Initiating Committee.

First IAS-ICSD Honoray President LINUS PAULING.
Linus Carl Pauling (1901-1994) was an American scientist, peace activist, author and educator. He is considered as one of the most influential chemists of the 20th century and ranks among the most important scientists in history. Pauling was one of the first scientists to work in the fields of quantum chemistry, molecular biology and orthomolecular medicine. He is also a member of a small group of individuals who have been awarded more than one Nobel Prize, one of only two people to receive them in different fields and the only person in that group to have been awarded each of his prizes without having to share it with another recipient.
