With outstanding support from universities, associations and companies, 7100 students and professionals from 122 countries representing 65 academic fields and 123 professions have made ACS what it is today: Using experimental, applied research methods, ACS is the world's first effective and sustainable interpersonal collaboration framework regardless of people's ethnic, educational or social backgrounds.
