• Provide a forum for members to engage in discussion on itch — its basic mechanisms and translation to clinical treatment
• Advocate for basic science and translational research on itch 
• Foster community among itch researchers and clinicians at IASP through membership and socials
• Facilitate scientific exchange on itch through the promotion of meetings.
• Further synergistic interactions between IASP and IFSI (International Forum for the Study of Itch)
• Cultivate an integrative approach based on interactions and overlap between itch and pain concerning mechanisms, psychophysics, experimental tools and treatment
