IAP Speaks: Strengthening Science Academies Worldwide

In this #IAPSpeaks video, our IAP Co-President Dr. Peggy Hamburg, highlights IAP's role in strengthening the capacity of science academies globally. Hamburg emphasizes how IAP initiatives empower academies by fostering knowledge-sharing, collaboration and training, enabling them to address both local and global challenges more effectively.

Through IAP’s programmes, science academies benefit from resources, workshops and mentorship opportunities, which equip them to provide trusted scientific guidance in their regions. This approach enhances academies' abilities to provide evidence-based policy advice and in supporting sustainable solutions in fields like healthcare, climate resilience and technology innovation.

Hamburg notes that by building capacity across regions, IAP ensures that scientific communities worldwide are well-prepared to offer critical insights and advocate for science-led solutions. This international support strengthens the voice and impact of each academy, empowering them to contribute effectively to pressing issues that transcend borders.

Watch Dr. Hamburg’s message to learn more about how IAP is fostering a global network of robust, resilient science academies dedicated to advancing the role of science in policymaking and development.
