The Academy, whose membership currently totals 65, publishes the J.B. Danquah Memorial lectures and Academy proceedings, organizes symposia and meetings, bestows awards on citizens for their distinguished contributions in science, technology and the arts, and maintains contact with other academies in other countries.
