Annual Report.indd 8 2013/07/29 08:25:36 AM 9 This and other key aspects of the workings of the Academy were the subject of a strategic planning session held by the new Council in early 2013. The ses- sion coincided with the fi rst meeting between Minister Derek Hanekom, offi cials from the Department of Science and Technology, and the new Council. The meeting with the Minister served as an excellent opportunity at which to discuss new and expanding opportunities for the Academy, within the context of its core mandate of providing advice to inform policy. It is gratifying to witness the ever-increasing awareness and acknowledgement, across all sectors, of the role and responsibilities of the Academy. Of course it is not unique in its advisory role, and it is therefore as well to identify synergies that exist between the Academy and other bodies in the country that form part of the National System of Innovation. Such efforts have already begun, and their continuation will no doubt bring added benefi ts to the system as a whole. The direction of the Academy’s activities is to a large extent set by its standing committees. For example, the activities of the Standing Committee on the Hu- manities have gained steady momentum as it guides the Academy’s involve- ment in and contributions to vital national debates on the future health and growth of the humanities. The relationships between the Academy and fellow academies around the world have been strengthened further over the last year. It is worth mentioning the participation in the triennial meeting of IAP, The Global Network of Science Academies, at which South Africa was elected to serve on the IAP Executive. Also worthy of note is a meeting that was hosted by the IAP Council and the Science Council of Japan, on the impact of the nuclear plant accident in that country and its lessons and consequences in relation to nuclear energy policy. Interactions such as these, in which the debates are of central relevance to participating academies and their governments, highlight the benefi ts of close collaboration with academies around the world in addressing issues of com- mon concern. Such collaboration is also to be found within Africa, through NA- SAC, the Network of African Science Academies, and with individual national academies, for example in localisation of the outcomes of studies for maxi- mum impact in the countries concerned.

Dosh is a Chechen Human Rights magazine. The Award Ceremony took place during the 29th Istanbul Book Fair. A special Award was also given to Turkish publisher Irfan Sanci (Sel Yayıncılık). The very day of his award, an Istanbul court, ignoring a previous decison of the European Court of Human Rights, decided to keep suing him for publishing a translation of Apollinaire. He faces up to 9 years in prison. The next hearing is due on 7 December 2010. The Board of the IPA, meeting in Frankfurt on 6 October 2010, had selected Israpil Shovkhalov, Editor-in-Chief, and Viktor Kogan-Yasny, publisher of the Chechen Human Rights Magazine Dosh, as Prize-winners from among many highly commendable candidates.
