IAP Annual Report 2024

The IAP Annual Report 2024 offers a comprehensive account of IAP’s work throughout the year, highlighting its commitment to strengthening the capacity of merit-based academies of science, medicine and engineering across the globe. With updates from IAP’s four regional networks – the Association of Academies and Societies of Sciences in Asia (AASSA), European Academies Science Advisory Council (EASAC), Inter-American Network of Academies of Sciences (IANAS), and Network of African Science Academies (NASAC) – the report reflects IAP’s continued dedication to advancing regional cooperation, science advice and capacity building. This edition captures progress under the IAP Strategic Plan 2024–2026, structured around four strategic priorities: supporting regional and national academies, promoting evidence-based science advice, expanding education and outreach initiatives, and strengthening the IAP global network. Highlights include IAP’s continued engagement in biosecurity and artificial intelligence through international partnerships, new outputs on research evaluation reform, and contributions to the UN Scientific Advisory Board. In education, IAP expanded inquiry-based science learning through its Science Education Programme, awarded small grants for science centre development in Africa, and welcomed new members into its growing Young Physician Leaders network. Additionally, IAP maintained strong digital engagement, introduced new communication platforms, and prepared for its 2025 Triennial Conference to be hosted in Egypt. Reflecting the collective strength of its network of academies from around the globe, the 2024 Annual Report underscores IAP’s role in fostering global scientific collaboration and ensuring that science informs policy for a more sustainable, equitable future.
