About Us


About Academia Europaea

Academia Europaea is a non-governmental association acting as a pan-European academy. Our Members are leading scientists and scholars who collectively promote research, learning and education. Founded in 1988, Academia Europaea now has more than 5500 Members, including more than 80 Nobel laureates.

Academia Europaea operates through a network of regional hubs in Barcelona, Bergen, Budapest, Cardiff, Tbilisi and Wroclaw. Our Headquarters are based in Munich with a support office in London, and an information centre in Graz. The President of Academia Europaea is Donald Dingwell, Professor of Earth and Environmental Sciences at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität.

About the Cardiff Knowledge Hub

The Cardiff Hub was set up after signing a collaboration agreement with Cardiff University, one of the UK’s leading research universities. 

We have an ambitious programme of work, through which we intend to strengthen pan-European scientific collaboration and infrastructure across all disciplines. For example, within the Scientific Advice Mechanism (SAM) and its supporting project SAPEA (Scientific Advice for Policy by European Academies), we have a significant stake in providing evidence-based scientific advice to European policymakers.
