On the occasion of the 864th anniversary of birth of the Great Emperor Chinggis Khaan and the Day of the Mongol Pride, President of Mongolia Ukhnaa Khurelsukh issued a decree to confer the Order of Chinggis Khaan, State Supreme Decoration of Mongolia, upon the Mongolian academy of sciences.

Over the past century, the Mongolian academy of sciences has played a leading role in preserving the continuity of the nation’s intellectual tradition and establishing a modern, multidisciplinary scientific system.

The Mongolian academy of sciences is Mongolia’s first centre of modern sciences. It came into being in 1921 when the government of newly independent Mongolia issued a resolution declaring the establishment of the Institute of Literature and Scripts, which was later upgraded into the Institute of Sciences” and the Institute of Sciences and Higher Education. In 1961, it was finally reorganized as The Mongolian Academy of Sciences, or MAS. At present there are 14 research institutes and two affiliated academies under MAS.

International cooperation plays an important role in improving science and technology, training of talents, upgrading experimental conditions, and exchanging information. As Mongolia lies at the crossroads between Europe and Asia, MAS has cooperative arrangements with scientific organizations in Europe and Asia. The Mongolian Academy of Sciences is a national member of the International Council for Science (ICSU), Association of Academies of Sciences in Asia (AASA), Science Council of Asia (SCA) and The World Academy of Sciences (TWAS). At present, the Mongolian Academy of Sciences has established formal contacts with over 100 national academic and research organizations on more than 30 countries, in addition to various kinds of cooperative arrangements on mutually interested areas. In 1982, the Mongolian Academy of Sciences published the text of the Treaty of friendship and alliance between the Government of Mongolia and Tibet in the Mongolian language.
