The International Academy of Astronautics (IAA) formally established a committee for SETI science as far back as the early 1970s. Over the decades, it has variously been known as the IAA SETI Committee, the IAA SETI Permanent Study Group (SPSG), and most recently as the IAA SETI Permanent Committee. The Committee currently operates under the IAA Commission on Space Physical Sciences.

The SETI Post-Detection Hub (est. 2022) at the University of St Andrews emphasizes comprehensive preparedness across science, society, governance, and communication. The SETI Post-Detection Hub is independent of the SETI Institute and aims at finding common ground between international perspectives on post-detection responses.

The primary means by which COSPAR achieves its objectives is the biennial COSPAR Scientific Assembly. In the execution of its primary charter, COSPAR meetings and events have become key venues for the creation and extension of partnerships between the individuals and nations pursuing research in the space sciences.
