ORGANISATION AND FUNDING

National Academies Forum policy is determined by an Executive, which normally meets twice a year. The Executive is attended by the President of each Academy or his or her nominee, and up to three other representatives of each Academy.

The Presidency of the Forum rotates among the academies every two years. The current President is Professor Ian Donaldson, who is the President of the Australian Academy of the Humanities.

The Forum is funded by a grant-in-aid from the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations, and seeks supplementary sponsorship for specific programs and activities.
