Members

There are three types of members in the Academy: fellows, associates and honorary members.

All members are elected by secret ballot and need the majority of votes.

In 1990, the Supreme Council of Cultural Revolution selected the first fifteen fellows of the Academy.

Fellows are required to be full Professor, to have published outstanding articles and books, to have carried out valuable researches, and to have Iranian nationality. In some cases (only in the Department of Islamic Studies and Department of Arts and Architecture), eminent scholars who do not hold university ranks or are not full Professor may also become fellows provided that they have equivalent qualifications. Eligible scholars will become fellows by the recommendation of the President of the Academy or at least five General Body members and approval of this Body and the issued order of the president. The fellows will have lifelong membership. According to the statutes, the number of fellows should not exceed 43. The membership may number higher only after the approval of the two-thirds of the fellows in the General Body.

Associates are chosen from among prominent Iranian scholars who are at least full Professor and have published noticeable articles and books, and have launched valuable researches. In some cases, scholars who are associate Professor are eligible for membership if they have similar qualifications. According to the sanction of the General Body, the number of associates should not exceed 157. The term of associate membership is five years. Associates are required to be nominated and selected for each term.

Honorary Members can be national or international scholars, the General Body elects them on the basis of their scientific activities and prestige in academic circles by the General Body.
