USERN, the official acronym of Universal Scientific Education and Research Network, is non-governmental, non-profit organization and network for peaceful non-military scientific executions and policy-making. USERN is established in 1 January 2016; the basic statutes of USERN was drafted on 21 January 2015, but officially inauguration of the statute was made on 10 November 2016, the UN Day of Science for Peace an Development, after signing by hundreds of top 1% scientists worldwide. USERN is organized exclusively for advancement of authentic, ethical and professional scientific research and education and consequently advancement of science for non-military purposes and public good. Making international interdisciplinary scientific projects and providing a platform for more effective communication among young researchers and experienced scientists, all over the world, is a head of USERN's schedule.
Membership
At the beginning of 2016, USERN started its official activities and after the first meeting of top 1% scientists, it has started to get membership throughout the USERN website. The USERN website however has always faced critics in its functionality as users have often reported trouble logging in, changing the password or editing their pages.
