EASAC – European Academies Science Advisory Council

EASAC – the European Academies Science Advisory Council – provides independent science-based advice for policymakers on important challenges for Europe.

EASAC is a network of (national) science academies in Europe, striving to ensure decisions across EU institutions are grounded in robust scientific evidence.

Founded in 2001 at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, EASAC brings together national academies of science of the EU member states, from Norway, from Switzerland, from the United Kingdom, and the Academia Europaea (a pan-European Academy).
EASAC’s mission is to inform both national and European Union policymakers on evidence in order to enable them to make fact based, informed policy decisions. EASAC delivers information on questions of relevance regarding environment, energy, biosciences and public health. EASAC’s views are independent of commercial or political bias, and follow open and transparent processes to arrive at science-based analysis and recommendations.
