Great news from the Pacific region!

The Pacific Academy of Sciences has been officially launched alongside the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Samoa. This new academy aims to be a strong advocate for science, promoting the study and application of natural and social sciences, the humanities, Indigenous Knowledge, and technology for the benefit of the Pacific Islands and beyond.

With the election of 12 distinguished scholars as Foundation Fellows, the academy is poised to make a significant impact in fostering collaboration and innovation across disciplines. Based in Apia, Samoa, it stands as a charitable trust dedicated to advancing knowledge and addressing the unique challenges faced by the Pacific Islands.

Congratulations to all involved in this important initiative!
