Since June 2024,[1] the President of ALLEA is Paweł Rowiński. 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.[2]

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. As a pan-European federation, ALLEA places emphasis on Europe in its geographic and cultural sense, going beyond the political concept of the European Union (EU), and is a vital part of the European Research Area (ERA) ecosystem. Highlighting science as encompassing all scholarly fields and as a universal public good, ALLEA provides a strong voice across various domains, from research policy to science diplomacy, contributing a European perspective to global debates.[3]

ALLEA Member Academies encompass all scientific disciplines, including the humanities and social sciences, as well as the natural and life sciences. Collectively, they represent a vast repository of academic excellence, experience, and multidisciplinary knowledge.

ALLEA's inclusive membership approach allows for multiple academies per country, thereby respecting the diverse, historically developed academic landscapes that are characteristic of Europe. By defining Europe in a broad manner, in alignment with the concept put forth by the Council of Europe, ALLEA ensures that the full diversity of perspectives contributes to its collective goals.

Acknowledging the vital role of emerging scientists in driving future innovation and scientific excellence, ALLEA's membership encompasses young academies, thereby fostering collaboration across generations that enhances our work and strengthens the academic community for the future 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.[4]

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.[5]
