1300 scientists and artists, among them fifteen Nobel laureates, form a thinking network which emphasizes the key ethical and scientific issues of an ever more fragmented society.
The members of the academy are organized in seven scientific classes:
I. Humanities
II. Medicine
III. Arts
IV. Natural Sciences
V. Social Sciences, Law and Economies
VI. Technical and Environmental Sciences
VII. World Religions ...
The European Academy of Sciences and Arts is the result of a lengthy and careful ripening process. Its development began in 1985 with a working group in Salzburg, Austria; it concluded with the founding of the Academy by its three architects: heart surgeon Felix Unger of Salzburg; the former archbishop of Vienna, Franz Cardinal König; and the political scientist and philosopher Nikolaus Lobkowicz. ...
The alloy which resulted from the personal motives and motivations of these three personalities finally proved to be the perfect material for building an academy. This goal was achieved on March 7, 1990: the European Academy of Sciences and Arts was called into being in the Residence of Salzburg.
