About the Conference

Every three years the member academies of the InterAcademy Partnership (IAP) and its regional networks get together to elect IAP leadership, welcome new members and discuss how science can help advancing sound policies, improve public health, promote science excellence and achieve other critical development goals.

The 2025 Triennial Conference and General Assembly of the InterAcademy Partnership (IAP) will take place from 8-11 December 2025 in Cairo, Egypt, hosted by the Academy of Scientific Research and Technology (ASRT).

Online participation will also be possible.

The Academy of Scientific Research & Technology (ASRT) was established in September 1971 by the Presidential Decree No 2405 as the national authority responsible for science & technology in Egypt. In 1998, ASRT was reorganized by Presidential Decree No 377 that further defined and strengthened its mission, function and activities.

ASRT is the Egyptian house of expertise. It brings together outstanding Egyptian scientists and experts from universities, research institutions, private sector, NGOs, policymakers and prominent Egyptian scientists in Diaspora to deliberate country problems, propose and carry out scientific studies and future strategic basic plans to tackle these problems.

ASRT adopts a comprehensive plan for developing Egyptian S&T to support relevant national ministries and research institutions in creating an integrated system of scientific research together for increasing the number of trained scientists in Egypt and giving science a leading role in the country's development and knowledge-based economy. ASRT also promotes and encourages female and youth participation in S&T and scientific leadership.
