The inaugural meeting of the International Academy for Suicide Research was held in Padua, Italy on September 29th, 1990. The Academy was established in order to promote high standards of research and scholarship in the field of suicidal behaviour by fostering communication and co-operation among scholars engaged in such research.

This is being achieved not only by the publication of the Academy’s Journal, Archives of Suicide Research, but also by regular scientific meetings. These have been held regularly, usually each year in conjunction with conferences such as the International Association for Suicide Prevention, the European Symposium on Suicide and Suicidal Behaviour, and the American Association of Suicidology. New qualified members are welcome.
