SAPEA is part of the European Commission's Scientific Advice Mechanism.

Together with the Group of Chief Scientific Advisors, we provide independent scientific advice to European Commissioners to support their decision-making.

SAPEA brings together outstanding expertise from natural, applied, and social sciences and humanities, from over a hundred academies, young academies and learned societies in more than 40 countries across Europe.

We also work to raise awareness of scientific advice and evidence in policymaking, and to stimulate debate in Europe about these issues.
