About USS

SHAOXIONG WANG
The founder and Hornored President
The USS is a cross-border community for scientists and researchers with openness, equality, and inclusion. It aims to promote the integrated development of global scientific research and human well-being by facilitating the exchange and sharing of knowledge and cross-border collaboration.

The United Societies of Science (Abbr.: USS, from now on referred to as USS. Chinese name is "国际科学联合会") is a cross-border platform for researchers with openness, equality and inclusion. It was established in 2023, and registered in Hong Kong. USS is a borderless, non-profit, non-governmental organization and its place of registration can be changed due to development needs.

For USS, "science" mainly refers to science, technology, engineering, medicine, management, and social sciences. USS believes that humanities and arts also belong to the category of "science" and are of great significance to human development. Due to the USS's capabilities, the USS did not cover pure humanities and arts-related disciplines when it was born, except for interdisciplinary subjects. This does not imply that USS will not cover humanities and arts disciplines in the future.
