ABSTRACT: In this study, we are going to compare the historical
background and current status of scientific academies in three European countries
and Iran as a country in the Middle East. We also focus on the academy as an institute
and review its mission, governing membership, and international relationships. The
study depicts that the foundation of scientific academies in European countries developed in
the context of new insight into Europe and a new horizon illuminated by the Renaissance.
The reflection of the pluralistic nature of science in Europe can be tracked to
the structure and function of current Academies. The study of scientific academies
in Iran as a prototype of a Middle Eastern country reveals that in the absence of
a modern science background, an academy has to be established by the government
as an institute in the hierarchy of administration bureaucracy.
