The IAP is a global network of science academies that wish to play a more significant role in their home countries and regions.

Its current strategic plan (2010-2012) identifies three objectives:

1. to position IAP as a widely recognised provider of high-quality, independent global science advice to governments and international organisations;
2. to support major programmes on scientific capacity-building, science education and science communication; 
3. to assume a lead role in efforts to improve the effectiveness and impact of international cooperation in science.

Recent IAP statements have addressed the subjects of  'Population and Consumption’ and ‘Promoting Research Integrity’. One of the IAP’s key annual activities is its Conference for Young Scientists, organised in cooperation with the World Economic Forum.
