Membership Information

Membership of the European Academy of Sciences (EurASc) recognises outstanding scientific achievement and international peer distinction.

Election to the Academy is based exclusively on scientific excellence, international recognition, and significant contributions to science and technology.

Nomination Process

Only Fellows (Active Members*) of EurASc may nominate candidates for membership.

*Active Members are:

Elected Members who have paid their annual membership due; and
Members exempt from payment of the annual due, namely Honorary Members and Emeritus Members (above 80 years of age).

Nominations must be submitted to the EurASc Secretariat through:

The personal Members’ Area (preferred method), or
By email to: contact@eurasc.eu

Nominations may be submitted at any time during the year.

However, as elections are organised according to specific divisional voting periods, complete nomination files must be received at least during the month preceding the election month, in order to allow the Division’s Scientific Committee sufficient time to evaluate the candidate before submission to the General Board for vote.

e.g.: If the election for a given Division takes place in May, the complete nomination file must be submitted no later than April.

Voting Periods of the General Board

February – Computational & Information Sciences / Materials Science
March – Engineering / Mathematics
April – Earth & Environmental Sciences / Medicine & Life Sciences
May – Chemistry / Physics
June – Computational & Information Sciences / Materials Science / Social Sciences & Humanities
July – Engineering / Mathematics
August – Earth & Environmental Sciences / Medicine & Life Sciences
September – Physics
November – Chemistry / Social Sciences & Humanities

Eligibility Criteria

EurASc Membership is open to:

(i) European Category

Nationals of European countries, or non-European nationals working in Europe for more than five years. For the purposes of EurASc, “Europe” refers to the geographical European continent and is not restricted to the Member States of the European Union.

Within this category, candidates may be elected as:

Members (Fellows)
Guest Members
Honorary Members

(ii) Non-European Category

Non-European scientists of exceptional talent who, by virtue of their prestige and scientific accomplishment, bring additional expertise to EurASc. Within this category, candidates may be elected as:

Non-European Members (Fellows)
Guest Members
Honorary Members

Important:
At least 75% of the Members within each Division must belong to category (i).
If this proportion is not met, nominations of Non-European Members in that Division will be postponed until compliance is restored.

Membership Distinctions

Members (Fellows) are recognised for their outstanding scientific achievements.
Honorary Members are distinguished scientists of exceptional international recognition (e.g., Nobel Prize, Fields Medal, Wolf Prize, Abel Prize, or equivalent).
Guest Members are individuals recognised for their significant contribution to the advancement and management of science at the international level.

Required Documents

A complete nomination must be submitted as one single merged PDF file.

The file must include the following mandatory documents:

Nomination Form (1 page – official EurASc template)
Letter of Nomination (1–2 pages – written and signed by a Fellow of EurASc)
Curriculum Vitae (Recent CV of the candidate – maximum 5 pages)
List of the 10 Most Important Publications (Maximum 1 page – including their number of citations, as indicated by Web of Science or Google Scholar)
1 or 2 Letters of Support (Maximum 2 pages each – at least one must be written by a different Active Member of EurASc)

Important Conditions

The nominator cannot write the letters of support.
The nomination must therefore include:
- One nominating Active Member;
- At least one additional supporting Active Member.
The complete merged PDF must not exceed 13 pages.
If any mandatory document is missing, the nomination will be considered invalid.
