Academic Management#
The scholarly interests of the Academia are managed through a class and section structure.
On election, all members are assigned to a section. At the present time there are twenty-three academic sections covering:
- History & Archaeology; Classics & Oriental Studies; Linguistic Studies; Literary & Theatrical Studies; Musicology and Art History; Philosophy, Theology & Religious Studies; Film, Media and Visual Studies
- Economics, Business and Management Sciences; Governance, Institutions and Policies; Human Mobility, Governance, Environment and Space; Law; Social Change and Social Thought; The Human Mind and its Complexity
- Mathematics; Informatics; Physics and Engineering Sciences; Chemical Sciences; Earth and Cosmic Sciences
- Biochemistry and Molecular Biology; Cell and Development Biology; Physiology and Neuroscience; Ecology and Evolution; and Clinical and Veterinary Science
Each section has a committee of its members to provide a focus for interaction with members. The chairs of the section committees are de facto members of the Council of the Academia Europaea. Each Class has a Chair to coordinate the assessment process and develop the membership structure and composition policy in consultation with the Council and on behalf of the Board of Trustees. Policy for the election of Class Chairs
