The International Engagement Committee (IEC) determines the Academy’s International Strategy, including the Academy’s international thematic priorities, and international engagement globally and regionally, including in Europe and with the European Union. It leads on the delivery of the Academy’s international objectives, and champions an international dimension across the Academy’s activities to ensure synergies, including the British International Research Institutes. IEC defines and monitors high-impact programmes and activities which address the Academy’s international objectives, incorporating all the Academy’s activities related to international development, relations, policy and funding. It oversees and approves the development of all partnership and funding opportunities in the international sphere and the Academy’s engagements with all internationally-focused stakeholders, and leads on communications and representations to international bodies and organisations. It sets and periodically reviews priorities for international work, and advises Council on resources needed.
