USERN, the official acronym of Universal Scientific Education and Research Network, is non-governmental, non-profit organization and network for non-military scientific investigation and policy-making. USERN was established on 1 January 2016 and the basic statutes of USERN were drafted on 21 January 2015. Official inauguration of the statutes was held on 10 November 2016, the UN Day of Science for Peace and Development, after signing by hundreds of top 1% scientists worldwide. USERN is an organization for the advancement of ethical and professional scientific research and education and for the advancement of science for non-military purposes.

Membership

At the beginning of 2016, USERN started its official activities and after the first meeting, prompted further members to join via the USERN website. The USERN website however has always faced critics in its functionality as users have often reported trouble logging in, changing the password or editing their pages.

USERN Prize

USERN Prize is an international award which would be annually bestowed to junior scientists or researchers less than 40 years of age for any novel advancement or achievement in scientific education, research, or serving the humanity in five scientific fields including medical sciences, life sciences, formal sciences, physical sciences, and social sciences.
