IAP
IAP (InterAcademy Partnership, www.interacademies.org) comprende oltre 140 accademie ed istituzioni scientifiche, mediche ed ingegneristiche di tutto il mondo con sede a Trieste presso la TWAS (The World Academy of Sciences, www.twas.org) e a Washington, USA, presso la NAS (National Academy of Sciences, www.nationalacademies.org). Scopo dell'organizzazione è di sostenere il ruolo della scienza proponendo soluzioni evidence-based in relazione alle più importanti questioni globali.
ALLEA
ALLEA (All European Academies, www.allea.org) riunisce oltre 50 accademie scientifiche e umanistiche dei Paesi dell’Europa occidentale e orientale con lo scopo di promuovere la collaborazione tra di esse e fornire consulenza in materia di politica scientifica ai governi e alle organizzazioni internazionali e sovranazionali.
Nell'ambito delle attività di ALLEA l'Accademia partecipa con propri rappresentanti ai gruppi di lavoro:
E-Humanities
ERA (European Research Area)
Intellectual Property Rights, Science Education
EASAC
EASAC (European Academies' Science Advisory Council, www.easac.eu) è costituito dalle accademie nazionali delle scienze dei Paesi appartenenti all’Unione Europea, più la Norvegia e la Svizzera, e si propone come diretto interlocutore delle istituzioni della U.E. in materia di politica della scienza. È il "Regional Affiliated Network for Europe" di IAP.
GID
GID (Groupe Inter-académique pour le Développement, www.g-i-d.org) è stato costituito per iniziativa della Académie des sciences, l’accademia nazionale delle scienze francese, e si propone di rafforzare i rapporti di collaborazione tra le accademie dei Paesi mediterranei, dell'Europa meridionale e dell'Africa.
IHRN
IHRN (International Human Rights Network of Academies and Scholarly Societies, www.internationalhrnetwork.org) è stato costituito nel 1993 con lo scopo di assistere scienziati, studiosi ed intellettuali vittime di violazioni dei diritti umani in ogni parte del mondo. Vi aderiscono accademie e istituzioni scientifiche e culturali di circa ottanta Paesi.
ISC
L'ISC (International Science Council, https://council.science) è una organizzazione internazionale non governativa, con sede a Parigi, che riunisce accademie e altre istituzioni scientifiche e culturali di tutto il mondo appartenenti alle scienze fisiche, matematiche, naturali, sociali ed umane. È stata costituita nel 2018 attraverso la associazione di due network preesistenti, l'International Council for Science (già International Council of Scientific Unions, ICSU) e l'International Social Science Council (ISSC). Lo scopo che questa organizzazione si è data è quello di essere la "global voice for science".
Historical note
In 1980 the United States National Academy of Sciences established a Committee on International Security and Armament Control (CISAC) with W.K.H. Panofsky as Chairman. One of its main purposes was to maintain bilateral contacts with an analogous group at the Soviet Academy of Science.
In January 1986 CISAC organized in Washington, D.C. a meeting and about ten scientists from European countries participated. In this meeting questions connected to arms control were discussed, together with the possibility of establishing in Europe a group of scientists with a role analogous to that of CISAC. Discussions on nternational security and armament control were extended beyond the limitation of a direct link between the USA and the USSR.
Francesco Calogero and Carlo Schaerf took part in this meeting and then reported to Edoardo Amaldi , then Vice President of the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. He was very much in favour of this initiative and set up a Working Group on International Security and Arms Control (SICA).
The first informal meeting was held in Rome at the Academy on 23-25 June 1988, and was entitled Workshop on International Security and Disarmament: The Role of the Scientific Academies. Participants from Belgium, Denmark, France, Federal Republic of Germany, Great Britain, Netherlands, Sweden and USA were present at this meeting. On that occasion it was decided to hold an international conference the following year and to invite participants from other European countries, including the Soviet Union.
The second meeting was entitled International Security and Disarmament: the Role of the Scientific Academies and was held in Rome in June 1989.
The third conference, entitled International Conference on Security in Europe and the Transition away from Confrontation towards Cooperation was held again in Rome in June 1990. The title, the programme, the specific items had already been established by Edoardo Amaldi (who was President of the Academy at the time) and the SICA group when he died unexpectedly on 5 December 1989. Prof. Giorgio Salvini was elected to succeed him as President of the Academy and of the SICA group as well and it was decided to carry on his work. This meeting was devoted to problems of peace, environmental cooperation, and measures of effective disarmament in the new international climate. It was at this meeting that the participants decided to dedicate all future meetings to the memory of Edoardo Amaldi and hence the name Amaldi Conferences. From then on the Amaldi Conferences continued on a yearly basis.

A new cycle of international conferences launched in 2019, financed by the ‘Antonio Feltrinelli’ fund, on scientific topics belonging to the disciplines for which the ‘Antonio Feltrinelli’ International Prize is announced each year.
4-6 novembre 2019 - Ageing: from basic science to policy advice
Long-term changes in life expectancy and fertility have converted many countries into ageing societies. Failure to adapt to population ageing may constrain productivity, well-being, financial security, and equity, and may increase tensions between generations as they compete for limited resources. The problems involved and strategies to address these concerns, regarding current as well as future elders, require a multidisciplinary approach. The first International Antonio Feltrinelli Conference, supported by the Lincei Academy’s Fondo «Antonio Feltrinelli» and by SAPEA (Science Advice for Policy of the European Academies), is dedicated to reviewing and discussing the multifaceted aspects of the ageing process, from basic science to policy advice.
ORGANIZING COMMITTEE: Carlo PATRONO, CHAIR (Lincei Fellow, Catholic University, Rome), Jean-Pierre MICHEL, CO-CHAIR (University of Geneva), Garret FITZGERALD (Lincei Fellow, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia), Francesco CLEMENTI (Lincei Fellow, University of Milan)
The Colloquia on Science Diplomacy organized by the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei, in collaboration with the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, and the International Organizations and Foreign Diplomatic Missions in Italy, promotes the values of Diplomacy and Science in international relations as fundamental principles to be pursued in the modus operandi and the modus vivendi of modern society. In the Colloquia the most important personalities of world institutions and the presidents of the most prestigious academies will discuss various topics and future developments of interest for the international community.

Among the various international activities, the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei participates in the meetings held by the national academies of the G7 countries. Launched in 2005 by the Royal Society, in preparation for the Summit in the United Kingdom, the event is held annually, also with the participation of academies from emerging countries. The purpose of the meetings is to produce joint statements for recommendations on global issues to be presented to the leaders of the G7 countries before the Summit meetings.
The list of the joint statements produced by the academies of science since the first meeting in 2005 available at next link: list of G7 statements
The national academies of the G7 and G20 countries provide scientific advice for the annual summits of Heads of State and Government. They prepare science-based recommendations related to topics on the summit agendas. In each case, the national academy of the host country takes the lead. After successfully coordinating policy advice for G7 summits, the Leopoldina took on this role for the first time with the newly created Science20-Dialogue during the German G20 Presidency in 2017.
