All European Academies

All European Academies (ALLEA) is the European Federation of Academies of Sciences and Humanities. It was founded in 1994, and brings together more than 50 Academies of Sciences and Learned Societies from over 40 member countries of the Council of Europe. Since May 2018, the President of ALLEA is Antonio Loprieno. ALLEA is financed by annual dues from its member academies and remains fully independent from political, religious, commercial or ideological interests. The ALLEA secretariat is based on the premises of the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities in Berlin.

Mission
ALLEA's mission includes facilitating the collaboration between Academies, fostering excellence and high ethical standards in the conduct of research, promoting the autonomy of science and research, representing the European Academies' positions to the European authorities, and contributing to the improvement of the framework conditions for science and research. Jointly with its Member Academies, ALLEA is in a position to address the full range of structural and policy issues facing Europe in science, research and innovation. In doing so, it is guided by a common understanding of Europe, bound together by historical, social and political factors as well as for scientific and economic reasons.

Member Academies
ALLEA Member Academies operate as learned societies, think tanks, or research performing organisations. They are self-governing communities of leaders of scholarly enquiry across all fields of the natural sciences, the social sciences and the humanities. ALLEA therefore provides access to an unparalleled human resource of intellectual excellence, experience and expertise. Furthermore, its integrative membership structure comprises Academies from both European Union (EU) and non–EU member states in Europe.

Working Groups
The core of the scientific work of ALLEA is performed by its Working Groups. ALLEA Working Groups are advisory bodies concerned with specific issues and providing advice and guidance on matters related to science, science management and science policy on the European level. Their activities and services may vary from advising decision-makers and the general public to producing memoranda, statements, position papers or reports published under the auspices of ALLEA.

SAPEA
ALLEA, jointly with four other European academy networks, forms part of the EU-funded SAPEA (Science Advice for Policy by European Academies) project, bringing together knowledge and expertise of Fellows from over 100 Academies across Europe. SAPEA provides interdisciplinary, independent and evidence based-scientific advice on policy issues to the European Commission and the European public in the context of the European Commission's Scientific Advice Mechanism.
