Sahitya Akademi in New Delhi hosted in January a Session of the Union Académique Internationale (International Union of Academies). The federation is composed of national and international academies from more than 60 countries working in the field of Humanities and the Social Sciences. Its purpose is to encourage cooperation to advance studies through collaborative research and joint publications in those branches of humanities and social sciences promoted by the Academies and Institutions represented in the UAI which include philology, archeology, history, moral sciences and political sciences. Since 1919, the number of projects sponsored, supported or supervised by the UAI has steadily increased. From the first three projects (Corpus Vasorum Antiquorum, Alchemical texts and Works of Grotius), the IUA came to the number of 76 projects.
