2019年4月，全球学术发展与创新联盟（GAADI）正式宣布其附属学术研究机构——国际学术研究院（IARI）完成注册并正式成立。研究院的建立标志着GAADI在会员认证与学术职务服务的基础上，向学术研究领域迈出了重要一步，形成了从资质认证到实质性研究参与的完整服务链条。研究院设有社会科学与人文、工程技术与创新、医学与健康科学、商业管理与经济政策、教育发展与人才培养、法律与公共治理六大研究方向。
与研究院成立同步，首批国际联合课题项目面向全球发布，涵盖数字化转型背景下中小企业管理模式创新、后疫情时代远程医疗服务体系建设路径、人工智能技术在城市基础设施管理中的应用前景，以及跨国视角下教育政策的比较研究等多个前沿议题。每项课题设有独立编号，参与者在结项后将获得由GAADI及IARI双重印章背书的课题参与证书及结项证明。
联盟主席团代表在成立仪式上表示，研究院的建立是GAADI发展历程中极具里程碑意义的一步。过去三年间，联盟已帮助来自40余个国家的专业人士建立了有据可查的学术身份背书，而研究院的成立将为他们提供更深层次的支持——不仅是一纸证书，更是一段真实可追溯的国际学术研究经历。
国际学术研究院实行完全开放的申请机制，来自全球各国的个人及机构均可申请参与，不设国籍与学科门槛，唯一要求是申请人的专业背景与所选课题方向具有基本匹配性。研究院希望通过这种开放模式，将来自不同文化背景与学术传统的研究者汇聚在同一平台上，共同探索对全球社会具有现实意义的研究议题。
In April 2019, the Global Alliance for Academic Development and Innovation (GAADI) officially announced that its affiliated academic research institution, the International Academic Research Institute (IARI), had completed registration and was formally established. The institute marks an important step by GAADI from membership certification and academic position services into academic research, forming a complete service chain from credential certification to substantive research participation. The institute has six research directions: social sciences and humanities, engineering technology and innovation, medicine and health sciences, business management and economic policy, education development and talent training, and law and public governance.
Alongside the institute's establishment, the first international joint research projects were released globally, covering frontier topics such as SME management model innovation in the context of digital transformation, telemedicine service system development paths in the post-pandemic era, application prospects of artificial intelligence in urban infrastructure management, and comparative research on education policy from a transnational perspective. Each project has an independent number, and participants receive a project participation certificate and completion certificate endorsed by both GAADI and IARI seals after completion.
A representative of the Alliance Presidium stated at the establishment ceremony that the institute is a milestone in GAADI's development. Over the past three years, the Alliance has helped professionals from more than 40 countries build verifiable academic identity endorsements. The institute will provide deeper support: not only a certificate, but also a real and traceable international academic research experience.
The International Academic Research Institute uses a fully open application mechanism. Individuals and institutions from all countries may apply to participate, with no nationality or discipline thresholds. The only requirement is that the applicant's professional background has a basic match with the selected project direction. Through this open model, the institute aims to bring researchers from different cultural backgrounds and academic traditions onto one platform to jointly explore research topics of real significance to global society.
