The Academy's Communications Department keeps the media, the authorities, researchers and the general public abreast of research projects, the Academy's advisory reports, awards and prizes, its policy and other events in the world of science. The Department's staff can also put members of the press in touch with Academy members.

The Academy's institutes generally handle their own communication with the media and the scientific community of which they form a part. If you have specific questions for the institutes, please contact the institutes' press officers directly.
