IUAES (Q5975361)

The International Union of Anthropological and Ethnological Sciences (IUAES) is the largest world forum of anthropologists and ethnologists, with members from more than fifty countries. Every five years, in different parts of the world, the IUAES sponsors a major Congress (ICAES/World Congress), gathering researchers from all of the various subfields and branches of anthropology. The IUAES was founded under the auspices of UNESCO in 1948. The International Congress of Anthropological and Ethnological Sciences (ICAES) had been separately founded in London in 1934. The two organizations united in 1948 and merged officially in 1968. In 2018, IUAES became one of the chambers of the newly established World Anthropological Union (WAU). The main objective of the IUAES is the internationalization of anthropology, and the cross-cultural honing and public dissemination of anthropological research perspectives.

國際人類學與民族學聯合會（International Union of Anthropological and Ethnological Science，IUAES）是世界最大的人類學與民族學學術論壇，成員來自超過50多個國家；每5年舉行一次世界大會，吸引人類學不同子領域的研究者參與。國際人類學與民族學聯合會創立於1948年8月23日，由聯合國教科文組織資助成立。它並不是第一個國際性人類學組織；1938年，國際人類與民族科學大會（International Congress of Anthropological and Ethnological Sciences，ICAES）在倫敦成立，後於1948年時與IUAES組成聯合會，並於1968年合併為同一個組織。
