OeAW - Discovering the future

About EASAC

The European Academies Science Advisory Council (EASAC) is formed by the national science academies of the EU Member States, Norway, Switzerland and the UK. EASAC’s 29 member academies collaborate with each other in giving advice to European policymakers. Through EASAC, the academies provide collective, independent, evidence-based advice about scientific aspects of policy issues to those who make or influence policy and legislation within the EU institutions and in EU Member States. EASAC aims to deliver advice that is comprehensible, relevant, and timely. Drawing on its memberships and networks of academies, EASAC accesses Europe’s scientific expertise across three core thematic programmes: Biosciences and Public Health, Energy, and Environment. 

EASAC is hosted by the Austrian Academy of Sciences, with the EASAC Secretariat based in Vienna, Austria. For more information, visit www.easac.eu.
