The European Academy of Sciences and Arts (EASA, Latin: Academia Scientiarum et Artium Europaea) is a transnational and interdisciplinary network, connecting about 2,000 recommended scientists and artists worldwide, including 38 Nobel Prize laureates.[1] The European Academy of Sciences and Arts is a learned society of scientists and artists, founded by Felix Unger.[2] The academy was founded 1990, is situated in Salzburg and has been supported by the city of Vienna, the government of Austria, and the European Commission. The EASA is now headed by President Klaus Mainzer, TUM Emeritus of Excellence at the Technical University of Munich and Senior Professor at the Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker Center of the University of Tübingen.[3][4]

It is unrelated to and should not be confused with a different well-established academy, the Belgium-based European Academy of Sciences under the commissioner support from the European Union [fr].[5]

It is a member of the InterAcademy Partnership.[2] Its activities have included a collaboration with the Latvian Academy of Sciences: the European-Latvian Institute for Cultural and Scientific Exchange (EUROLAT), founded in 1993.[6]
