G-Science Academies meetings
The annual G-Science Academies’ meetings started in 2005 and have become a major platform through which the Society collaborates with other leading science academies. The academies discuss and produce statements on global challenges in order to inform and influence public policies and debate.
Participation at the meetings has varied over the years, and usually includes the academies of the G7 nations (USA, UK, Canada, France, Germany, Italy and Japan), and occasionally some other nations.
Led by the Leopoldina as chair, the national science academies of the G7 nations have produced four statement (links below) ahead of the G7 leaders’ summit in Germany in June 2021.
