The IAP Annual Report 2025 presents a year of sustained engagement across the global academy community and highlights the collective contribution of academies to addressing societal challenges.

In 2025, IAP continued to support its member academies through activities that strengthened science advice, enhanced institutional capacity and promoted international collaboration. Working through its global and regional networks, IAP facilitated the exchange of knowledge and expertise and supported initiatives that advanced evidence-informed policymaking.

A key event during the year was the IAP Triennial Conference and General Assembly, which brought together academy leaders, researchers, policymakers and partners to discuss the evolving role of science in society and to identify priorities for future action.

The report outlines achievements across IAP's programmes, including science education, leadership development, science-policy engagement and efforts to strengthen research environments. It also highlights the impact of grants, workshops and webinars that supported collaboration among academies and scientific communities worldwide.

Regional networks continued to play an important role in delivering activities that responded to local needs while contributing to shared global objectives. Their work demonstrated the value of scientific cooperation and the importance of strong and effective institutions.

The achievements presented in this report reflect the commitment of IAP's members and partners to advancing science in the public interest. Together, they contribute to a stronger global scientific community and to more informed decision-making in support of sustainable and equitable development.
