The World Association of Professional Scientists (WAPS) is a community alliance that consists of scientists, academics, and experts in diversified fields. The goal is to host meetings alongside IEREK’s conferences, which can be held anywhere around the world. A day prior to any conference would be dedicated to these WAPS meetings as a social event where discussions of the future of science and publishing, as well as the ways in which we can improve the quality of research take place. Members of WAPS could participate in these conferences as session moderators, keynote speakers, or conference chairs.
IEREK will sponsor the meetings financially, including the travel and accommodation expenses of WAPS members. Accordingly, the meetings may alternate in terms of hosting members.
