\n\t\t<\/div>\n\nThe European Academy of Sciences and Arts was established in March 1990 by Prof. Felix Unger, a cardiac surgeon who had performed Europe\u2019s first artificial heart transplant in 1986, cardinal Franz K\u00f6nig, who was at the time the Archbishop of Vienna, and Nikolaus Lobkowicz, a politologist and philosopher.<\/p>\n
Professor Unger has continued to preside the EASA to this day. The scope of his interests had always extended beyond just medicine; as early as in the mid-1980s, he and the late cardinal K\u00f6nig used to hold regular meetings with prominent scientists from Vienna, Munich, Innsbruck, and Salzburg. Cardinal K\u00f6nig was very interested in the issues of scientific ethics. On the other hand, his friend, Prof. Nikolaus Lobkowicz was concerned about the changing hierarchy of values he observed in the European society. Although each of these three intellectuals focused on different issues, together they developed the concept of an academy for dialog and collaboration between European scientists and artists so that their different perspectives on Europe\u2019s problems might significantly contribute to the development of appropriate solutions. This idea was the basis for their project named the European Academy of Sciences and Arts.<\/p>\n
Currently, the Academy associates representatives of the humanities, medicine, natural science, social science and technology as well as representatives of artistic and religious communities. EASA\u2019s projects and events fall within each of these areas. The objective of the Academy is to strengthen the role of European scientific community in the development of solutions to problems considered to be of top priority for the Europeans. EASA is also involved in intercultural dialogue as a means to affirm the importance of diverse values and cultures. Starting from 1997, the Prize of Tolerance has been awarded by the academy to individuals and institutions striving for universal good and dialog between countries and religions. Another project of the Academy is the Alma Mater Europaea University in Salzburg.<\/p>\n
EASA admits personalities representing scientific or cultural institutions or individuals with outstanding achievements in their respective areas of activity and greatly esteemed in their communities. Academy members have the right to propose new candidates regardless of their nationality or specialization. The selection procedure, based on a three-stage evaluation system, leads to nominations being issued by the EASA Senate. Nominees are then asked to accept the honor of joining the Academy. Each new member is assigned to one of the eight groups (Humanities, Medicine, Arts, Natural Science, Social Science, Law and Economics, Technical Science and Environmental Protection, Religions of the World, Business and Management) according to their particular area of activity. Members are officially admitted to the European Academy of Sciences and Arts during plenary sessions held each year in Salzburg, usually on the first weekend of March.<\/p>\n
Prior to this year\u2019s ceremony, there were a total of 31 Polish EASA members including Prof. Jerzy Buzek, Prof. Krzysztof Penderecki, Prof. Andrzej Zoll and Prof. Jerzy Wo\u017anicki. In 2015, vice-presidency of EASA was conferred onto Prof. Micha\u0142 Kleiber who was at the time the president of the Polish Academy of Sciences.<\/p>\n
Honorary members of the associations include the kings of Spain and Belgium, the Grand Duke of Luxembourg, and prominent politicians including Hans-Dietrich Genscher or Jean-Claude Juncker.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
