Mu 2006, gulu la asayansi okhudzidwa ndi akatswiri odziwa zambiri adakumana koyamba ku Mauritius Research Council kuti akambirane njira ndi njira zokhazikitsira Academy of Science for Mauritius. Cholinga cha sukuluyi chinali kuchita ngati bungwe lapamwamba lodziyimira pawokha pankhani za sayansi ndi ukadaulo zomwe zimakhudza dziko lino, ndikulangiza omwe ali m'boma ndi mabungwe aboma moyenerera. Sukuluyi idayenera kukhala bungwe lasayansi ndiukadaulo lokhala ndi mamembala a anthu aku Mauritius akumaloko komanso kunja. Academy idakhazikitsidwa mu 2007.
Ntchito za MAST zimakonzedwa ndi bungwe lalikulu la mamembala 11, zomwe zimakonzedwanso ndi chisankho pamsonkhano zaka ziwiri zilizonse. Mogwirizana ndi cholinga chake cholimbikitsa kukambirana pakati pa asayansi ndi opanga ndondomeko, Bungwe la MAST linaganiza zopanga magulu ogwira ntchito ndi cholinga chokambirana mitu yapadziko lonse ndi cholinga cha dziko chomwe chimatsogolera ku ndondomeko za ndondomeko, kuti sayansi ithandizire chitukuko chokhazikika. Zitsanzo za mitu yomwe yakambidwa ndi 'chitetezo cha chakudya', 'COVID-19 mliri', 'Sayansi, Ukadaulo ndi Nkhani Zachikhalidwe' ndi 'Maphunziro a Sayansi muzinthu zambiri za STEM '. Pazochitika zonse, pepala la ndondomeko / ndondomeko inaperekedwa. Kuyambira 2007, MAST yakhala ikutulutsa kalata yapaintaneti komanso magazini yapachaka kapena yazaka ziwiri.
Kuphatikiza pa umembala wa ISC, MAST ndi membala wa NASAC ndi IAP, ndipo amatenga nawo mbali pafupipafupi pazochita zawo. MAST imasunganso ubale wapamtima ndi masukulu angapo a sayansi, monga ASSAf, INSA, AAS, The Royal Society, l'Academie des Sciences de Paris, pakati pa ena.
