It was established with three purposes:
-
To recognize outstanding achievement
and contributions in the broadly defined areas of science and/or engineering
-
To
foster a deeper understanding and promote discourse on scientific and technical
matters among the citizens of the State of Vermont
-
To provide expert and impartial technical advice to the people and
the government of the State of Vermont
The State of Vermont chartered the Vermont Academy of Science and Engineering
to honor the accomplishments of scientists and engineers, promote the interests
of science and engineering within the state, educate Vermonters about the
importance of those fields, and help state government resolve scientific
and engineering problems.
The Vermont Academy of Science and Engineering
(VASE) was founded in 1995 by, and reports to, the Vermont Technology Council,
following a recommendation of the Vermont Science and Technology Plan of
December, 1994.
