IAP membership
IAP's members constitute more than 30,000 of the best scientists, engineers and health professionals in over 100 countries across Africa, the Americas, Asia-Pacific and Europe.
With its four regional networks – in Africa (the Network of African Science Academies, NASAC), the Americas (the InterAmerican Network of Academies of Sciences, IANAS), Asia (the Association of Academies and Societies of Sciences in Asia, AASSA) and Europe (the European Academies Science Advisory Council, EASAC) – IAP provides a platform for mobilizing regional and national expertise on wide-ranging issues of global importance at the interface of science and policy, and for facilitating cooperation with other key stakeholders and partners.
