Celebrating 20 years of the Academy

To celebrate the Academy’s 20th birthday, we have put together a snapshot of 20 of our biggest impacts. To find out more about our 20th celebrations and our future plans, read this blog by our President Professor Sir Robert Lechler, and follow #AMS20 on social media.

All Academy projects have benefitted enormously from the contributions of our Fellows, colleagues, early career researchers and staff in the UK and internationally. We are incredibly thankful to everyone who has supported us to grow into the organstionation we are today.

The Academy is most grateful to all of the donors, supporters and partners who have funded our work over the past 20 years, without you our work would not be possible, thank you.
