The Academia Europaea was founded in 1988 and is an organisation of leading scientists from across Europe. It is its aim to promote education and research in Europe and strengthen interdisciplinary and international exchange in research. Currently there are over 2400 members, which come from academic disciplines comprising the humanities, social, physical and life sciences as well as mathematics, engineering and medicine. Membership is acquired by invitation of the president following peer review by the nominations committee of the Academia Europaea.
Election to the Academia Europaea is considered to be a personal honour that is a distinct recognition by international peers of personal excellence in scholarship within the European convocation of learned and professional scholars.
