Mongolian Academy of Sciences

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Mongolian Academy of Sciences is Mongolia's first centre of modern sciences. It was founded in 1921, when the government established an Institute of Literature and Script, which was later upgraded to Institute of Science. Later, in 1961, it was reconstituted as the Mongolian Academy of Sciences (MAS). It has been responsible for much original palaeontological research and for field studies.
