The General Assembly annually convenes academies of sciences and humanities from 40 countries across the Council of Europe region. General Assemblies are hosted by ALLEA Member Academies and the programme typically consists of the internal business meeting of academy delegates, and a scientific symposium open to the public. The symposium explores pressing topics from the fields of science, society and policy, and provides a platform for international, interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral debate. The business meeting addresses governance, strategy and policy matters and is restricted to Member Academies’ delegates.

The next ALLEA General Assembly will take place in London. The scientific symposium ‘Crises and the Importance of Research: How Prepared Can We Be?’ will take place on 22 June 2023 and is open to all. The business meeting for ALLEA delegates only will be on 23 June 2023. This ALLEA General Assembly is generously hosted by its UK member academies, the British Academy, the Learned Society of Wales, the Royal Society, and the Royal Society of Edinburgh.
