Governance

ALLEA was founded in 1994 and is the Federation of 52 Academies of Sciences and Humanities in more than 40 European countries.

ALLEA Member Academies are self-governing communities of scientists and scholars, and operate as learned societies, think-tanks, grant givers, and research performing organisations.

ALLEA: 

• promotes the exchange of information and experiences between Academies;
• offers European science and society advice from its Member Academies;
• strives for excellence in science and scholarship, for high ethical standards in the conduct   of research, and for independence from political, commercial and ideological interests.
