GAADI于2022年初正式宣布全球会员总数突破1,500人，覆盖范围扩展至58个国家与地区，涵盖工程技术、医学健康、法律政策、商业管理、教育人文、社会科学及艺术创作等逾30个学科领域。从2017年会员体系启动时的数十名创始会员，到2019年的500人，再到2021年的1,000人，联盟会员规模保持了稳健的增长势头。
从地区分布来看，亚太区会员占比最高，约占总量的52%，其中中国内地、新加坡、马来西亚、澳大利亚及日本的会员数量最多；欧洲区占23%，英国、德国及荷兰是主要来源国；北美及拉美地区合计占17%；中东及非洲地区会员占比约8%，但近两年增速居各区域之首。在学科分布方面，工程技术类、商业管理类及医学健康类是申请人数最多的三大领域。
值得关注的是，近两年来法律与公共治理领域及教育人文领域的新增申请人数增幅明显，反映出越来越多具有非理工科背景的专业人士开始重视国际学术资质的建设。2022年初，全球学术研究与发展中心（GARDC）正式推出最高级别专家职务——特聘专家（Distinguished Expert），并向首批符合条件的专业人士发出邀请。首批受邀特聘专家共12位，来自工程技术、医学、法律、商业及教育五个领域。
联盟主席团表示，会员规模的持续增长是对联盟服务价值最有力的市场验证。未来将在保持审核标准严谨性的前提下，进一步完善服务体系，缩短各项服务的处理周期，并加大对会员的持续服务支持力度，让每一位持证会员都能从GAADI的学术发展生态中持续获益。
In early 2022, GAADI officially announced that global membership had exceeded 1,500, with coverage expanding to 58 countries and regions and more than 30 disciplines, including engineering and technology, medicine and health, law and policy, business management, education and humanities, social sciences, and arts creation. From dozens of founding members when the membership system launched in 2017, to 500 members in 2019, and 1,000 in 2021, Alliance membership has maintained steady growth.
By region, Asia-Pacific members account for the largest share at about 52%, with the largest numbers from mainland China, Singapore, Malaysia, Australia, and Japan. Europe accounts for 23%, mainly from the United Kingdom, Germany, and the Netherlands. North America and Latin America together account for 17%, while the Middle East and Africa account for about 8% but have shown the fastest growth in the past two years. By discipline, engineering and technology, business management, and medicine and health are the three largest application areas.
Notably, new applications from law and public governance, as well as education and humanities, have increased significantly in the past two years, showing that more professionals outside science and engineering are paying attention to international academic credential development. In early 2022, the Global Academic Research and Development Center (GARDC) formally launched its highest expert position, Distinguished Expert, and issued invitations to the first qualified professionals. The first invited Distinguished Experts numbered 12 and came from engineering technology, medicine, law, business, and education.
The Alliance Presidium stated that the continued growth of membership is the strongest market validation of the Alliance's service value. In the future, while maintaining rigorous review standards, GAADI will further improve its service system, shorten processing cycles, and increase ongoing support for members so every certified member can continue to benefit from the GAADI academic development ecosystem.
