Innovating for a Better World
Bringing STEM professionals and aspiring professionals together from around the world and across industries to address the major challenges our society faces is core to the Academy's mission. It's also been a part of our work since the day we were founded over 200 years ago. And this month, we're shining an extra light on some recent examples of how we're activating our World's Smartest Network® to make the world a better place for everyone.
