All European Academies

What All European Academies does

ALLEA is the European Federation of Academies of Sciences and Humanities, registered in Berlin and operating as a non-profit membership federation since 1994. It represents 60 self-governing academies from approximately 40 EU and non-EU countries, aggregating the expertise of distinguished scholars across natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities to serve member academies, EU and national policymakers, the broader research community, and the general public.

Its core offerings consist of science-advice and policy-support services delivered through the SAPEA consortium to European Commission and Parliament institutions, research-culture programs covering integrity, ethics, assessment reform, equity and inclusion, and greening of research, and research-policy advocacy on the European Research Area, open science, and research security. Additional programs include the Madame de Staël Prize (recognizing contributions to European scientific collaboration), support for at-risk scholars, the European Fund for Displaced Scientists (EFDS, run jointly with the Breakthrough Prize Foundation), and the Digital Salon public-engagement platform. Its flagship standard-setting output is the European Code of Conduct for Research Integrity.

The business model is non-commercial: revenue is sourced from membership contributions by the 60 academies, supplemented by grants tied to EU-funded projects (PERITIA, TechEthos) and partner support. The Secretariat in Berlin runs on a lean headcount of 1–10 employees, with operational delivery relying heavily on member academies and project-based working groups. There is no proprietary technology product, no API or app, and no commercial pricing.
