The InterAcademy Partnership (IAP)

Under the umbrella of the InterAcademy Partnership (IAP), more than 140 national, regional and global member academies work together to support the vital role of science in seeking evidence-based solutions to the world's most challenging problems. In particular, IAP harnesses the expertise of the world's scientific, medical and engineering leaders to advance sound policies, improve public health, promote excellence in science education, and achieve other critical development goals. IAP academy members constitute more than 30,000 leading scientists, engineers and health professionals in over 100 countries. A central focus of IAP's mission is to reach out to society and participate in discussions on critical global issues in which science plays a crucial role, and since its inception in 1993, IAP has been producing statements on issues of fundamental importance to humanity. These statements – which are released only once they have been endorsed by the majority of IAP members – are not only a reflection of the major issues that confront society but are also evidence of IAP's ongoing commitment to society.


IAP has four regional affiliated networks in Africa (NASAC), Asia (AASSA), the Americas (IANAS) and Europe (EASAC). Through IAP, EASAC is connected to (regional networks of) national science academies around the world, and has collaborated with them on a number of projects, including Food and Nutrition Security and Agriculture (FNSA)(2017-18) and Climate Change and Health(2019-2022).
