Euro-CASE/SAPEA
The Academy is an active member of Euro-CASE, the European Council of Academies of Applied Sciences, Technology and Engineering, an independent organisation that federates the national academies of 23 European countries. Euro-CASE, through its member academies, brings together nearly 6,000 experts and provides impartial, independent and balanced advice on technological issues with a clear European dimension to European institutions, national governments, companies and organisations.
In the framework of the European Science Advisory Mechanism, the SAPEA project, in which Euro-CASE represents the academies of technology in Europe, receives funding from the European Union's research and innovation programme. This funding allows it to contribute to advising the Commission on technological issues in complete independence and in addition to the internal scientific services of the Joint Research Centre and the existing specialised committees.
