HISTORY MISSION STATEMENT
The concept of a ”European Academy of Sciences” was raised at The Academia will:

The initiative was taken by the Royal Society (UK) which resulted • promote a wider appreciation of the value of European

The new body was named the Academia Europaea and its standards of living.
Foundation Meeting was held in Cambridge in September 1988
under the first President, Arnold Burgen. Hubert Curien, who was
at that time the French Minister of Science (and later became the
second President of the Academia) arrived by helicopter and gave
the inaugural address and provided the active support of the
French government. The first Plenary Meeting was held in London
in June 1989, by which time there were 627 members. The current
numbers stand at over 3500 scholars elected from the continent
of Europe and beyond.
Since 1998, there has been a period of remarkable changes to
the scientific, political and economic landscape of the continent
of Europe. The Academia Europaea has evolved within this
environment, from its origins as an organisation of predominantly
“western European” scholars, into a uniquely independent body - a
truly pan-European Academy of Sciences, Humanities and Letters.
2012 saw further development, with the opening of a new regional
Knowledge Hub in Wrocław, Poland. A second Hub in Barcelona
was opened in 2013 – the 25th anniversary year of the founding
of the Academia Europaea. In May 2014 we opened a third
Knowledge Hub, in Bergen, Norway. During 2015 a fourth Hub was
opened in Cardiff, Wales.

The Barcelona Knowledge Hub was established in 2013 through a joint agreement between
the Academia Europaea and three partners in Catalonia: the Autonomous Government of
Catalonia, the Barcelona City Council, and the Fundación Interbancaria “la Caixa”. The Hub is
located in the site of the Institute for Catalan Studies (IEC).
Description of the Hub:
The Barcelona Knowledge Hub (BKH) is the Academia Europaea’s office for the Mediterranean
and Southern European region. We focus on the promotion of activities of interest for the
members of the Academia and the scientific community in general, with special emphasis on
multidisciplinary scientific activities that include the perspectives of the natural and biomedical
sciences, the social sciences and the humanities. Our goal is to contribute to the consolidation
of a genuine European area of innovation, research, and education around the Mediterranean
Sea, a truly historical and modern bridge of cultures.
The Hub is managed by a local project group under the direction of Prof. Dr. Ricard Guerrero,
MAE (Organismic & Evolutionary Biology Section).
The BKH has an International Advisory Committee that meets annually. Currently it is formed
by the following persons: Enric Banda, Pedro García-Barreno, M. Dolors García Ramón, Ramon
Gomis, Sergiu Hart, Yvon Le Maho, Genoveva Martí, Marc Mayer, Maria Paradiso, Regina Revilla,

The Bergen Knowledge Hub was established in 2014 and was renewed in 2016 through
an agreement with the University of Bergen which also hosts and provides the hub
administration.
Description of the Hub:
The Region Bergen Knowledge Hub (RBKH), operational since 2014, acts as the Academia
Europaea branch office in the Nordic, North-Eastern and Arctic regions. It fosters scientific
knowledge and research and especially, but not exclusively, develops and runs activities
focussing upon the Northern/Arctic Seas and related European resources and opportunities,
including threats associated with fragile northern margins.
A cultural heritage linked to maritime logistics, energy culture and Nordic Model societies,
offers possibilities for new insight in humans and technology and professional interplay.
The Hub has created the CONSENSUS forum and the achievement colloquium NorSAC.
To support the Hub’s mission the RBKH is in the process of forming an International Advisory
Committee. The Hub is managed by a Hub Advisory Group under the direction of Prof. Jan S.
Vaagen (jans.vaagen@ift.uib.no).

Focus:

Description of the Hub:
The Cardiff Hub complements the other existing regional hubs in Wroclaw, Barcelona and
Bergen. It provides a facility for implementing the regional dimension policy of the Academia
Europaea (AE) and provide benefits to our host (Cardiff University) and the wider region
through stimulating new linkages and networks of expertise. The Hub aims to signpost
excellence within the region throughout Europe and create a wider collaborative western
regional focus for the AE. Cardiff stimulates linkages between the AE at large and the centres
of research and scholarship of the Welsh Universities and The Learned Society of Wales
(http://learnedsocietywales.ac.uk), as well as the GW4 (Great Western) institutions of the UK
(Universities of Bristol, Bath, Cardiff and Exeter). In the area of Life Sciences, there will be
collaboration with the Academy of Medical Sciences (www.acmedsci.ac.uk) The Cardiff Hub
has, at the outset, a thematic focus on Biomedical, Life and related sciences, but this does not
and will not prevent activities in other areas.
The Cardiff Hub establishes interdisciplinary networks to better coordinate the interest of
the AE membership in these key scientific fields; provides signposting of excellence across
the regional institutions and catalyses linkages to improve the identification and capture
of new research opportunities also outside of the AE member group. The Hub assists in the
delivery of the charitable objectives of the AE through an outreach programme that engages
the members of the AE and the Young Academy of Europe (YAE) (http://yacadeuro.org) with
the communities of the defined region. The Learned Society of Wales (LSW) is an important
partner in mediating contacts to the Welsh scientific and scholarly communities.

The Board will take steps to evaluate a request and as necessary Updated by:

London, December 2015
The Board will not exclude from consideration, any bona fide and
legally constituted organisation, but will reserve the right not to
proceed to an election of any organisation which in the judgement
of the Board might conflict with the mission, ethos, ideals and
philosophy of the Academia Europaea and/or conflict with its own
charitable and legal status.
The Board will be the final arbiter of any decisions on election.
No appeal or other recourse will be possible in the event of
a rejection. No reasons need to be given for any rejection.
Successful candidates shall be admitted into Affiliate membership
and shall enjoy benefits of membership as determined by the
Board. Affiliate membership shall continue until such time that the
member wishes to resign, or becomes in arrears in payment of any
agreed subscription. The expectation is for a membership to run for
a minimum period of five years in the first instance.
The principle benefits of Affiliation are:
• Visible association with the Academy of Europe as representing
the leaders of European research and scholarship;
• Association with and linkage to the activity of the membership
of the Academy of Europe.
In addition, Affiliates may seek to become Patron members.
What are potential benefits of becoming a Patron?
Patron membership provides an increased level of direct
association and engagement with the membership through:
• Access to individuals from all fields and across the entire
continent of Europe and beyond.
• Opportunities to be the principle patrons and/or sponsors of
activities of the Academia Europaea.
