The Eurasian Association on Inverse Problems (EAIP) founded in 2013 (Registration Number: 35.060.187) by the Initiative Group of A. Hasanov (Hasanoğlu), B. Hofmann, S. Kabanikhin, G. Nakamura, A. Neubauer, R. Novikov and V.G. Romanov is a non-governmental organization working to ensure a coordination between inverse problems research groups and scientific schools in Eurasian countries, by providing international conferences, meetings and summer schools on inverse problems, both in theory and applications.

Association has established an "EAIP Award" to recognize outstanding scientific contributions to the field of inverse problems and continuous efforts to foster cooperation between researchers of Eurasian countries.

The EAIP Award is given at each International Conference on "Inverse Problems: Modeling and Simulation" (for the first time at the 7th edition of the conference held at Fethiye, Turkey, in May 2014).
