It is therefore time for me to reflect on how the Academy has changed during this period, both as a result of decisions made by the Board and as a result of outside influences, and how I hope it will continue to develop in the future. One important function of an academy of scientists and scholars is to provide a professional network for its members. This is just as true of Academia Europaea as it is of national academies. The members of a national academy usually have opportunities to meet and get to know each other across disciplinary boundaries at regular academy meetings. Academia Europaea also holds general meetings for its members, but only once a year. During my term as President there have been annual general meetings in Naples, Leuven, Paris, Bergen and Wrocław, and this summer’s meeting will be in Barcelona. A local organising committee generally plans the programme for the annual meeting. We have had excellent programmes at all five annual meetings held so far during my term of office, and I am expecting an equally good result for the Barcelona meeting. However, less than about 10% of our members have been able to attend each annual meeting. We have therefore needed another way for members to learn about each other and contact each other easily. Hermann Maurer, who at the time was chair of the Informatics Section, and his collaborators at the University of Graz, especially Dana Kaiser, have made important progress by creating a database of members where you can all enter as much information about yourselves as you wish. It is now easy to find other Academia Europaea members with specific interests or expertise, and it is easy to contact them. The group in Graz has also developed the AE new web-site, a nomination system for potential new members, which has been used and improved during recent nomination cycles, and a voting system (which unfortunately has not yet been used). As outgoing President I am very grateful to the substantial contribution made by the Graz group during my term of office. It is almost 30 years since the original initiative was taken to establish a pan-European academy of science and humanities. The idea came first from members of the Council of Europe and later from members of the European Commission. The aim was to establish the academy as part of the emerging civic society of Europe. Another objective was for the academy to provide scientific and policy advice to European political bodies, thus fulfilling the same function as national academies do vis-à-vis government and parliament in many European countries. To function in this way, an academy has to be well known and respected both within the academic community and in the relevant political bodies. Unfortunately, Academia Europaea has not yet fully achieved this position. One problem is that the members have been very unevenly distributed across countries and disciplines. During my period as President, the Board has taken active steps to increase the overall number of members and to boost the number of members in underrepresented disciplines and countries to counteract the ‘positive feed-back mechanism’ which is probably the main cause of the uneven distribution of members. We have had some success, but the problem has not been entirely resolved. Our goal should be for all eminent scientists and scholars throughout Europe (including Russia) and in all disciplines to become members. Today we have about 3000 members. A rough ‘guestimate’ is that this should increase to at least 5000 members if the proportion of outstanding scientists and scholars who are members should rise to the same level in other European countries as it is already in northwestern Europe. However, even in these countries there are eligible scientists and scholars who are not yet members. The second part of the problem is that Academia Europaea has not been well known outside its own membership, and is still not sufficiently well known in wider academic communities and political bodies in Europe. This is another matter we have tried to rectify during my period as President. Jerzy Langer was co-opted to the Board, mainly to be responsible for trying strengthening our contact and seeking to gain more influence with the European Parliament and DG Research and Innovation. Much still remains to be done, but we have had some success. For example, our early response to President Barosso’s document Europe 2020 was noted with interest by many people in European political bodies. I am very grateful to Jerzy Langer for the contributions he has made to the Academy as a kind of “foreign minister”. Academia Europaea has always been better known in northwestern Europe than in eastern and southern parts of Europe, in part simply because the main office is in London. To counteract the centralising effect of this, Academia Europaea has established three regional “knowledge hubs” during my presidency, in Poland (Wrocław), Spain (Barcelona) and Norway (Bergen). Each of them has a staff of two and a local advisory group. The hubs are locally funded and are intended to be responsible both for their geographical regions and for specific disciplines. The Wrocław hub covers Central and Eastern Europe and Germany, the Barcelona hub covers the Mediterranean region and the Bergen hub the Nordic region. Disciplinary responsibilities will be decided over time, but the Wrocław hub, which has been operational for longest, has already arranged valuable summer schools and conferences in the humanities. The Barcelona hub will certainly have geosciences as one of its main fields, and the Bergen hub is planning activities in arctic and marine disciplines and energy issues. The idea for the first hub came from Jerzy Langer and his friend Rafał Dutkiewicz, the Mayor of Wrocław. Andreu Mas- Colell together with Enric Banda proposed a second hub in Barcelona, and finally Jan Vaagen together with other members in the region started planning the hub in Bergen. Board member Pieter Emmer has played a very active role in ensuring that the humanities are given a proper place in the work of the hubs. In the last few years, many national academies in Europe have established ‘young academies’. When I began my period as President six years ago, I considered whether Academia Europaea should also establish its own young academy. Vice President Sierd Cloetingh had a similar idea. However, to start with we had more pressing problems to deal with, particularly financial problems, and we did not follow up the idea until Helga Nowotny of the European Research Council approached us and suggested that we should help recipients of their Starting Grants to establish a young academy. The Young Academy of Europe (YAE) has now been established. It is an independent body with its own board, but it operates under the umbrella of Academia Europaea. The initial cohort of members has been chosen from ERC Starting Grant holders.

    Margaret Buckingham Élue Membre le 29 novembre 2005 dans la section Biologie intégrative Directeur de recherche au CNRS, Professeur à l'Institut Pasteur Œuvre scientifique Margaret Buckingham, de nationalités française et britannique, née en 1945, est diplômée (B.A., M.A., D. Phil.) de l’université d’Oxford. Depuis 1971, elle a mené sa carrière scientifique en France, d’abord dans le laboratoire de François Gros, puis à partir de 1987, en tant que chef de l’Unité de génétique moléculaire du développement, puis Professeur à l’Institut Pasteur où elle a été directrice du Département de biologie du développement. Elle est directeur de recherche au CNRS. Elle a présidé la section de Biologie du développement et de la reproduction au CNRS de 2001 à 2004 et la Société Française de Biologie du Développement de 2008 à 2011. Elle est actuellement membre du Comité Consultatif National d’Ethique (CCNE). Les recherches de Margaret Buckingham portent sur les mécanismes qui conduisent une cellule naïve à entrer dans un programme de différenciation tissulaire pendant le développement de l’organisme. Elle étudie les gènes qui régulent la formation et la régénération du muscle de squelette, ainsi que les populations cellulaires qui forment le cœur. Margaret Buckingham a effectué des études pionnières sur l’organisation des gènes du muscle et leurs différents modes d’expression pendant le développement. Parmi les gènes des facteurs de régulation myogénique, de la famille MyoD, l’expression de Myf5 précède la myogenèse chez l’embryon. En son absence, les cellules adoptent d’autres destins cellulaires, démontrant ainsi le rôle de Myf5 comme facteur de détermination myogénique.

  • Catherine Cesarsky, French Astrophysicist Astrophysics Is An
    PROFILE - Catherine Cesarsky, French astrophysicist Astrophysics is an interdisciplinary branch of astronomy which mainly concerns the physics and study of the properties of objects in the universe (e.g. stars, planets, galaxies, interstellar medium), such as their luminosity, density, temperature and chemical composition, their formation and evolution. This field of research is a pillar of Franco-Swedish cooperation since astronomy and astrophysics is the second most important area of joint publications (after physics) between France and Sweden with more than 2,700 publications over the period 2010-2020. Over the years, French and Swedish astronomers have found reasons to cooperate in numerous programmes on the ground and in space, both on stars and their composition and on the interstellar medium, nebulae and galaxies. We had the pleasure of meeting a leading figure in this field and a foreign member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences since 2005, Catherine Cesarsky. Read our interview below. You have a doctorate in astronomy from Harvard University, you did a post-doctorate at the California Institute of Technology, one of the largest research centres in astronomy, before returning to France and becoming a researcher in 1974 in the Astrophysics Department of the CEA in Saclay. Today you are President of the international project office for the construction of the world's largest radio telescope, SKA ("Square Kilometer Array"). What led you to take an interest in galaxies and more particularly in the origin and propagation of cosmic rays? These things often happen by chance. I was looking for a thesis supervisor when I was a student at Harvard University and I was lucky enough to meet an astrophysicist and plasma physicist from Princeton at a congress who offered me a summer job on cosmic rays.
