The Union of the German Academies of Sciences and Humanities is an association of eight academies of sciences and humanities that have joined together to achieve their common goals. It assembles more than 1900 scientists and academics who are outstanding representatives of their disciplines, both nationally and internationally, and whose work covers a broad range of subject areas. They have joined forces to promote scientific exchange, excellent research, and the emergence of new talent in science and the humanities. The Union coordinates the so-called ´´AcademiesÂ’ Programme´´, one of the Federal RepublicÂ’s most important and most comprehensive research programmes in the fields of cultural studies and the humanities, and by that, the joint research projects of its member academies. It promotes the exchange of information and experience between academies, engages in public relations work and organizes events to discuss todayÂ’s relevant questions from the field of science. Furthermore, the Union represents the German academies of sciences and humanities abroad, and sends delegates to national and international science organisations.
