The European Academy of Sciences and Arts is a transnational and interdisciplinary network, connecting c. 2,000 recommended scientists and artists worldwide, including 34 Nobel Prize Laureates.[1] The European Academy of Sciences and Arts (EASA, Latin: Academia Scientiarum et Artium Europaea) is a learned society of scientists and artists, founded by Felix Unger.[2] The Academy was founded 1990, is situated in Salzburg and has been supported by the city of Vienna, the government of Austria, and the European Commission. The EASA is now headed by President Klaus Mainzer, TUM Emeritus of Excellence at the Technical University of Munich and Senior Professor at the Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker Center of the University of Tübingen.
It is unrelated to and should not be confused with a different, highly controversial, and less well-established academy, the Belgium-based European Academy of Sciences.[3]
It is a member of the InterAcademy Partnership.[2] Its activities have included a collaboration with the Latvian Academy of Sciences: the European-Latvian Institute for Cultural and Scientific Exchange (EUROLAT), founded in 1993.[4]
History[]
The origines date back to a scientific working group with the Salzburg cardiac surgeon Felix Unger, the Archbishop from Vienna Franz König and the political scientist and philosopher Nikolaus Lobkowicz. At 7 March 1990, the Academy was officially founded in Salzburg, where the academy still is located until today.
The Festive Plenary of the European Academy of Sciences and Arts takes place annually with the festive admission of new members in salzburg. At the occasion of the 25th- and 30the anniversary the celebrations took place with the Federal Presidents of Austria and other Presidents of European countries. Other Protektors (national patrons) of the Academy are King Philippe of Belgium, Borut Pahor (State President of Slovenia), Gjorge Ivanov (State President of Macedona) and since 12 June 2018 Austrian Federal President Alexander Van der Bellen. Past Protektors are i. a. the former EU Commission President and Prime Minister of Luxembourg Jacques Santer, the former King of Spain Juan Carlos I and the former EU Commission President and Italian Prime Minister Romano Prodi.
Vision and Membership[]
The European Academy of Sciences and Arts is politically independent and financed by donations, private sponsors and public institutions.

In 2020, the Academy had round about 2000 members worldwide, including 34 Nobel Prize Laureates.[1] These are respected and recommended scientists and artists, among them 26 nobel prize laureats. The membership can be got by suggestions of their members. The Senate decided about the admission on the basis of recommendations of the nomination commission. The membership is considered as distinction of the merits in science and society.[6] Famous members of the Academy are i. a. the economist Hans-Werner Sinn, Michail Gorbatschow (Nobel Peace Prize), the artist Jenny Holzer and Pope em.
