Recently, Professor Jinde CAO from School of Mathematics, SEU received a congratulatory letter from President H. C. Felix Unger of the European Academy of Sciences and Arts for Professor Cao’s election as member of the European Academy of Sciences and Arts and his outstanding achievement in the research field.
The Academy’s mission is to stimulate cross-disciplinary collaboration between reputable scientists of all disciplines, leading artists and practitioners of governance. Their purpose is to analyze important societal challenges and to help solving complex issues for the wellbeing of Europeans’ future.
The Academy brings together over 2000 eminent scholars and practitioners, among them 31 Nobel Prize winners, from across Europe. They are divided into 8 classes: Humanities; Medicine; Arts; Natural Sciences; Social Sciences, Law and Economics; Technical and Environmental Sciences; World Religions; Corporate and Public Governance.
The Protectors of the Academy are several Heads of State. Its list of Honorary Senators comprises many distinguished leaders, such as former Prime Ministers or Ministers from various countries, former Presidents of the Commission of the European Union, and others.
The Academy gives an annual Tolerance Prize to persons or institutions with exceptional merit for building bridges and promoting tolerance between communities. The activities of the Academy take place by class or between them. They are decided annually by the Senate.
The Academy is located in the ancient St. Peter’s Abbey in Salzburg.
