Wikipedia, viewed 24 June 2014: under International Council for Science (ISCU is one of the oldest non-governmental organizations in the world; represents the evolution and expansion of two earlier bodies known as the International Association of Academies (IAA; 1899-1914) and the International Research Council (IRC; 1919-1931); in 1998, Members agreed that the Council's current composition and activities would be better reflected by modifying the name from the International Council of Scientific Unions to the International Council for Science, while retaining the existing acronym, ICSU)
