Armenia’s National Academy of Sciences has been accepted as a member in ALLEA – the federation of All European Academies.

On June 6, by a decision of the 14th General Assembly of the European federation of Academies of Sciences and Humanities, held in Berlin on 30 April 2013, ALLEA admitted three new members and now comprises a total of 55 Member Academies from more than 40 countries. Alongside two Belgian academies, the National Academy of Sciences of Armenia was invited to become member of ALLEA.   

With an absolute majority of the votes cast the ALLEA General Assembly decided to invite the three academies to become part of the ALLEA. On the basis of the comprehensive application dossiers that the applicants had provided, the ALLEA Board had recommended the admission of the National Academy of Sciences of Armenia as well as of the two Belgian academies Royal Academy of Dutch Language and Literature (Koninklijke Academie voor Nederlandse Taalen Letterkunde) and Royal Academy of French Language and Literature (Académie Royale de langue et de literature françaises de Belgique).

ALLEA was founded in 1994 and currently brings together 55 Academies in more than 40 countries from the Council of Europe region. Member Academies operate as learned societies, think tanks and research performing organizations. They are self- governing communities of leaders of scholarly enquiry across all fields of the natural sciences, the social sciences and the humanities. ALLEA therefore provides access to an unparalleled human resource of intellectual excellence, experience and expertise.
