ABOUT IANAS

IANAS plays a major role in contributing to the promotion of scientific capacity and excellence for sustainable development in the Americas.

Networks are powerful instruments for sharing and rapidly disseminating information, best practices and novel ideas through a larger community. By virtue of their credibility and independence from government, Academies have certain inherent advantages in addressing issues related to science, technology and health (STH), and in advancing high quality science education at the national level.
