Benefits for Members of Academia Europaea

Election to membership is an honour and recognition of excellence and impact in science and scholarship. View our list of Members.
- Influence and impact: Supporting policymaking in Europe is an essential part of our mission. We work on science for policy through SAPEA (Science Advice for Policy by European Academies), part of the European Commission’s Scientific Advice Mechanism.
- Networking, collaboration and interdisciplinary exchange: There will be many opportunities to connect with fellow Members across Europe and beyond, with our annual conference standing out as a key highlight. Participants can look forward to an exciting programme, featuring distinguished Members of Academia Europaea who will share insights and perspectives across various disciplines. Additionally, AE’s Hubs host a range of events – physical, hybrid, and online – that you can either attend or actively participate in. Academia Europaea promotes interdisciplinary collaboration and knowledge sharing among its diverse membership. With its Class and Section structure, AE facilitates networking within your own discipline/subject area and encourages cross-disciplinary interactions.
- Access to resources: Members gain access to a range of resources, including the Members database, AE’s flagship journal, European Review as well as funding opportunities such as our Curien Fund. Our monthly newsletters keep you up-to-date with what’s happening at Academia Europaea. We include upcoming events, calls for nominations and other activities of interest to Members.
Nomination process
Election to membership is an honour and recognition, of excellence and impact in science and scholarship. One of AE’s priorities is diversification of our membership. Emphasis will be placed on adherence to CoARA (Coalition for Advancing Research Assessment) principles and commitments with a reduction in reliance on standard traditional metrics.
