When the Academy was founded in 1954 there were 24 members, known as the Foundation Fellows: 
The Sciences Academy of Lisbon () was created in 1779 in Lisbon, Portugal, as an institution dedicated to the advancement of science and learning (particularly mathematics in Portugal) with the goal of promoting academic progress and prosperity to the country.
Domenico Vandelli was among its mentors and early organizers. 
The first university of Portugal was founded in 1290 as a Studium Generale in Lisbon.
It was focused on the arts and humanities, but also included a medical school since its foundation.
During the 16th century, in the Age of Discovery, a more mathematical educational approach flourished in this university with the creation of specialized courses and classes in the field.
This included the appointment of Pedro Nunes as mathematics teacher, in 1537, when the Portuguese university located in Lisbon was relocated back to Coimbra, and Nunes moved to the re-founded University of Coimbra to teach mathematics, a post he held until 1562.
This was a new post in the University of Coimbra and it was established to provide instruction in the technical requirements for navigation: clearly a topic of great importance in Portugal at this period, when control of sea trade was the primary source of Portuguese wealth.
Mathematics became an independent post in 1544.
By the 18th century, under the enlightened political leadership of the Marquis of Pombal, the University of Coimbra was modernized with the appointment of new professors, both Portuguese and foreigners, and the establishment of several facilities directed towards the teaching of the natural sciences.
Also in the 18th century, one of the oldest learned societies of Portugal, the Sciences Academy of Lisbon, was founded in 1779.
Historically, within the scope of the now defunct Portuguese Empire, the Portuguese founded in 1792 the oldest engineering school of Latin America (the Real Academia de Artilharia, Fortificação e Desenho), as well as the oldest medical college of Asia (the Escola Médico-Cirúrgica de Goa) in 1842.
In 1911, the oldest non-military Portuguese university degree-conferring institution of engineering was founded - it was the Instituto Superior Técnico, in Lisbon, as well as new Science Faculties in the newly founded University of Lisbon and Porto. 
Currently its public designation is "MUHNAC - National Museum of Natural History and Science", and as such was founded in October 2011.
This unit incorporated the former National Museum of Natural History and the University of Lisbon Science Museum, integrating their collections, the old buildings of the Polytechnic School, the Lisbon Botanical Gardens and the Lisbon Astronomical Observatory (this one since July 2012):  The National Museum of Natural History had its origins in the Royal Natural History Museum and Botanical Garden, created in the second half of the eighteenth century, in Ajuda (western section of Lisbon).
It was then housed for a short period in the Royal Academy of Sciences and finally transferred to the Polytechnic School (1858), first denominated as the National Museum of Lisbon (1861).
The Botanic Gardens of Lisbon officially opened in 1878.
In 1911, with the creation of the University of Lisbon, the Museum was attached to the Faculty of Sciences, taking the name of National Museum of Natural History (1926).
In March 1978 a devastating fire destroyed much of the building of the former Polytechnic School, as well as the zoology collections and part of the geology collections.
The Faculty then began the process of moving to other premises.
The Science Museum of the University of Lisbon was created in May 1985, sharing the same building with the National Museum of Natural History.
Both museums were given new bylaws in 2003, becoming autonomous from the Faculty of Sciences and under the direct administration of the Rector of the University of Lisbon 
The Indiana Academy of Science is a non-profit organization for the advancement of science.
It is based in Indiana and was founded in 1885.
