Academia Europaea
Founded in 1985
The concept of a 'European Academy of Sciences' was raised at a meeting in Paris of the European Ministers of Science in 1985. The initiative was taken by the Royal Society of London which resulted in a meeting in London in June 1986 of Arnold Burgen (UK), Hubert Curien (France), Umberto Columbo (Italy), David Magnusson (Sweden), Eugen Seibold (Germany) and Ruud van Lieshout (Netherlands) - who agreed to the need for a new body that could express the ideas and opinions of individual scientists from across Europe.
This body was seen to be a complement to the European Science Foundation in its role as a coordinator of the European interests of national research funding agencies and organisations. The objectives were kept deliberately broad covering the humanities, social and natural sciences, so as to ensure interdisciplinary discourse and activities. Initial modalities were to include annual meetings of members, multidisciplinary meetings, an interdisciplinary journal, a newsletter, providing independent advice, improving mobility of scholars within Europe and improving public understanding of science.
The new body was named the 'Academia Europaea' and its 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.
Since 1989, 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.
The funding of the Academy is based on an original endowment, contributions from some of the member countries, special projects (such as the Riksbanken project, an independent foundation with the goal of promoting and supporting research in the Humanities and Social Sciences) and by other organisations like the Academie Leopoldina which is also supporting the Academia Europaea financially.
The following is a list of those members of the Academia Europaea who are either in the Mathematics Section or are affiliated to the Mathematics Section (February 2024):
