The object of Academia Europaea is the advancement and propagation of excellence in scholarship in the humanities, law, the economic, social, and political sciences, mathematics, medicine, and all branches of natural and technological sciences anywhere in the world for the public benefit and for the advancement of the education of the public of all ages. The aim of the Academy is to promote European research, advise governments and international organizations in scientific matters, and further interdisciplinary and international research.
On 9 May 2025, the Academia Europaea (AE, est. 1988) and the Romanian Academy (RA, est. 1866) have signed a collaboration agreement to establish the AE Bucharest Regional Hub. The Bucharest Hub joins a constellation that includes the AE Hubs of Barcelona, Bergen, Budapest, Cardiff, Tbilisi, Wrocław, the information center in Graz, as well as the offices in London and Munich. It is both located (hosted by the Romanian Academy) and extraterritorial (as it is part of transnational networks), building bridges with academics and academic institutions in Eastern Europe, its home (meso)region, in Europe in general, and beyond. While covering an encyclopedic agenda (just like the AE as a whole), the AE Bucharest Hub will develop a number of specific international activities based on existing strengths in the Humanities, Social Sciences, Life Sciences, Earth Sciences, Chemistry, Mathematics, Computer Science, and more.
