The InterAcademy Partnership(IAP), was formally launched in South Africa in March,2016. It brings together established networks of academies of science, medicine and engineering, namely IAP, the global network of science academies, the InterAcademy Medical Panel(IAMP)and the InterAcademy Council(IAC). Under the new InterAcademy Partnership, more than 130 national and regional members/academies will work together to support the special role of science and its efforts to seek solutions to address the world's most challenging problems. In particular, the new IAP will harness the expertise of the world's scientific, medical and engineering leaders to advance sound policies, promote excellence in science education, improve public health, and achieve other critical development goals.
