Los Angeles, April 24, 2022

On December 20, 2021, a group of Armenians concerned about the future of their nation established a new organization known as The Armenian Society of Fellows (ASOF). This network of Armenian scholars, scientists, artists, and entrepreneurs from around the world is currently comprised of 155 individuals, including Nobel Laureates, and thought leaders from both the Republic of Armenia and the Armenian Diaspora.

ASOF’s mission is to help raise Armenia’s educational and research capacity and institutions to world-class levels and to contribute to the development of a modern, sophisticated, and internationally networked civil society in Armenia.

ASOF’s long-term objectives are:

To help the Armenian Nation achieve her full potential in dealing with internal challenges and in solving significant social and environmental problems worldwide.

To help safeguard Armenian culture in Armenia and abroad.

To expand the visibility of Armenia’s global impact and contributions.

ASOF represents a historic undertaking that unites the Armenian Diaspora and the Republic of Armenia, to create a network dedicated to national renewal and international cooperation.

ASOF will hold its first inaugural meeting on June 27 and 28, 2022 on the island of San Lazzaro degli Armeni in Venice.

More information about ASOF is available at our website, https://asof.am. Please reach out to us there or email us at: [email protected] if you have any questions.

Sincerely

The ASOF Executive Board
