Scientists and scholars who collectively aim to promote learning, education and research

MISSION STATEMENT

The Academia will:

• promote a wider appreciation of the value of European scholarship and

research,

• make recommendations to national governments and international

agencies concerning matters affecting science, scholarship and academic life in Europe,

• encourage interdisciplinary and international research in all areas of

learning, particularly in relation to European issues,

• identify topics of trans-European importance to science and scholarship,

and propose appropriate action to ensure that these issues are adequately studied.

The Academia will endeavour to:

• encourage the highest possible standards in scholarship, research and

education,

• promote a better understanding among the public at large of the benefits
• f knowledge and learning, and of scientific and scholarly issues which

affect society, its quality of life and its standards of living.

ERASMUS MEDAL

The Erasmus Medal (and the accompanying lecture) is awarded to recognise and to mark with honour an individual’s European scholarship and achievements, maintained over a sustained

• period. The procedure for identifying candidates

suitable to receive the award (in summary) are: 1) The fields eligible to receive the award are decided upon by the Council. This might be, for example, on a four year cycle, humanities, physical sciences, social sciences, biological and medical sciences. 2) A search group of appropriate Section Chairs is established, under the co-ordination of a member of the Board of Trustees. 3) The search group agrees on a process and timetable and then carries out a search for candidates. The search may involvean

• pen call for proposals, a call from within

the AE membership, or a more restricted

• search. Whatever the method chosen, all

nominations are considered based upon evidence provided by the nominators of scholarly achievements, endorsements and recommendations and any other relevant information for the candidates. The search group create a long-list of at least five candidates. 4) The search group will then assess the long list and agree a short-list (of not less than three names) and seek referees’ reports for these candidates wherenecessary. 5) The search group submits a final shortlist of names to the Council. The medallist is selected by a vote of the whole Council a year in advance of the award. Being a recipient of other awards is no barrier to receiving the Erasmus Medal. The search group will take into account the international profile of the potential medallist and a candidate’s likely attraction and ability as a public speaker to non- specialist audiences. Candidates are not limited to current members of the Academia, as the award carries with it an automatic membership. General criteria for the award: The Erasmus Medal of the Academia Europaea is awarded on the recommendation of the Council to a member or other scholar who has maintained

• ver a sustained period the highest level of

international scholarship and recognition by

• peers. The medallist is invited to give the annual

Erasmus Lecture and if appropriate to receive membership. In addition the search group will take into account:

• that all purely academic nominations are

supported by detailed evidence of the suitability of any candidate. This includes their international standing, achievements/impacts in their respective field(s) and impact on European scholarship and the community of scholars.

• Candidates do not already have to be

elected members of the Academia Europaea, as the award automatically comes with an invitation to membership.

• Nominations for candidates who might not

meet the ‘normal’ Academic/scholarship

8

criteria can be considered: but only where such people have also made a significant and long term impact on scholarship and learning through their personal actions, or where their involvement in ‘the European learning Sector’ and environments has contributed in a substantial way to the promotion of and support for research and learning.

• There is no obligation or suggestion to find

a candidate from the country hosting the annual meeting, or a national from the hosting country. However,wherever possible a European based scholar (of any nationality) is most definitely preferred.

• The award consists of two parts - the Medal

and the Lecture. It is therefore critical that the group takes into account the quality of the potential speaker and their willingness to have the lecture published. The Erasmus Medal and Lecture are currently sponsored by The Heinz-Nixdorf Foundation.

The Burgen Scholarships are named in honour of the founding Honorary Life President – Professor Arnold Burgen. They provide recognition to younger European scholars, at the post-doctoral level, who are recognised to be emerging talents and possible potential future leaders in their fields. Recipients usually do not yet have an established position. The nomination of candidates is a task that is given to the members of the Academia Europaea that are resident in the country that is hosting the annual meeting. Up to ten awards can be made. The awards cover the costs of attendance and participation in the Annual Conference (travel, accommodation and registration fees). The Burgen Scholarship award is marked by a citation and presentation of a certificate to the successful candidates, and a non-monetary prize. The local committee of Academia members, who are responsible for the

• rganisation of the Annual Conference, make the final selection of the list of Burgen

scholars from amongst those nominated by their fellow national members of the Academia Europaea.
