The Australian Council of Learned Academies (ACOLA) is an independent organisation that supports evidence-based interdisciplinary research.ACOLA is the forum whereby Australia's four independent Learned Academies – Australian Academy of the Humanities, Australian Academy of Science, Academy of Social Sciences in Australia and Australian Academy of Technology and Engineering – come together to contribute to inform national policy and to develop innovative solutions to complex global problems and emerging national needs.The four member academies of ACOLA originally established the unincorporated association National Academies Forum in 1995. The Forum produced reports, contributed at symposia and workshops, and provided policy reviews. In 2010, the organisation had a name change to Australian Council of Learned Academies (ACOLA Council), and established a Secretariat (ACOLA Secretariat Ltd) to support its operations.In 2017, ACOLA embarked on a significant governance review, this has led to the establishment in May 2018 of the current entity: Australian Council of Learned Academies (ACOLA).
