ALLEA is the European Federation of Academies of Sciences and Humanities, representing more than 50 academies from over 40 countries in Europe. ALLEA operates at the interface of science, policy and society and speaks out on behalf of its members to promote science as a global public good.

Our activities aim to improve the conditions for research, to provide the best science advice available for citizens and policymakers, and to strengthen the role of science in society. In doing so, we channel the expertise of European academies for the benefit of the research community, decision-makers and the public. ALLEA produces science-based advice in response to societally relevant topics and encourages scientific reasoning and values through public engagement.

Member Academies are self-governing bodies of distinguished scholars drawn from all fields of natural sciences, social sciences and humanities. They contain a unique human resource of intellectual excellence, experience and multidisciplinary knowledge dedicated to the advancement of science and scholarship in Europe and the world.
