The International Association for Vegetation Science (IAVS) promotes contact between scientists and others interested in the study of vegetation ecology, promotes research and publication of research results. In 1939 the International Phytosociological Society (IPS) was founded, with its headquarters in Montpellier, France. After the Second World War it was reconstituted as the Internationale Vereinigung für Vegetationskunde (IVV), which adopted a constitution at the International Botanical Congress of 1954. The current name was adopted in 1981–82.{{Cite web|url=http://www.iavs.org/Abouthistory.aspx|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090727101843/http://www.iavs.org/AboutHistory.aspx |url-status=dead |title=IAVS history|archive-date=July 27, 2009}}
