European Academy of Sciences

The European Academy of Sciences (EurASc) () is an organization aiming to promote excellence in science and technology. Based in Brussels, Belgium. It was established on 17 December 2003. It is not to be confused with an older and well recognized European Academy of Sciences and Arts based in Salzburg.
Divisions
The academy has nine divisions:
*Chemistry
*Computational and Information Sciences
*Earth and Environmental Sciences
*Engineering
*Materials Science
*Mathematics
*Medicine and Life Sciences
*Physics
*Social Sciences

Controversy
An Italian group using the same name had come under scrutiny in 2002 for listing members who were unaware of their names being used, for holding meetings in secret, and for allegations of fraudulent use of research funds. The European Academy of Sciences is not a member of umbrella organisations like the InterAcademy Panel on International Issues (IAP) or the All European Academy, (ALLEA) as the members of these associations are national Academies, and EurASc is an international association.
