ERASMUS MEDAL
The Erasmus Medal (and the accompanying lecture) is awarded to recognise and to mark with honour an individual’s European scholarship and achievements, maintained over a sustained period. The procedure for identifying candidates suitable to receive the award (in summary) are:
1) The fields eligible to receive the award are decided upon by the Council. This might be, for example, on a four year cycle, humanities, physical sciences, social sciences, biological and medical sciences.
2) A search group of appropriate Section Chairs is established, under the co-ordination of a member of the Board of Trustees.
3) The search group agrees on a process and timetable and then carries out a search for candidates. The search may involve an open call for proposals, a call from within the AE membership, or a more restricted search. Whatever the method chosen, all
nominations are considered based upon evidence provided by the nominators ofscholarly achievements, endorsements and recommendations and any other relevant information for the candidates. The search group create a long-list of at least five candidates.
4) The search group will then assess the long list and agree a short-list (of not less than three names) and seek referees’ reports for these candidates where necessary.
5) The search group submits a final shortlist of names to the Council. The medallist is selected by a vote of the whole Council a year in advance of the award.
Being a recipient of other awards is no barrier to receiving the Erasmus Medal. The search group will take into account the international profile of the potential medallist and a candidate’s likely attraction and ability as a public speaker to non-specialist audiences. Candidates are not limited
to current members of the Academia, as the award carries with it an automatic membership.
General criteria for the award:
The Erasmus Medal of the Academia Europaea is awarded on the recommendation of the Council to a member or other scholar who has maintained over a sustained period the highest level of international scholarship and recognition by peers. The medallist is invited to give the annual Erasmus Lecture and if appropriate to receive membership.
In addition the search group will take into account:
• that all purely academic nominations are supported by detailed evidence of the suitability of any candidate. This includes their international standing, achievements/impacts in their respective field(s) and impact on European scholarship and the community of scholars.
• Candidates do not already have to be elected members of the Academia Europaea, as the award automatically comes with an invitation to membership.
• Nominations for candidates who might not meet the ‘normal’ Academic/scholarship
8
criteria can be considered: but only where such people have also made a significant and long term impact on scholarship and learning through their personal actions, or where their involvement in ‘the European learning Sector’ and environments has contributed in a substantial way to the promotion of and support for research and learning.
• There is no obligation or suggestion to finda candidate from the country hosting the annual meeting, or a national from the hosting country. However,whereverpossible a European based scholar (of anynationality) is most definitely preferred.
• The award consists of two parts - the Medal and the Lecture.It is therefore critical that the group takes into account the quality of the potential speaker and their willingness to have the lecture published.
The Erasmus Medal and Lecture are currently
sponsored by The Heinz-Nixdorf Foundation.

The Burgen Scholarships are named in honour of the founding Honorary Life President– Professor Arnold Burgen.
They provide recognition to younger European scholars, at the post-doctoral level,who are recognised to be emerging talents and possible potential future leaders intheir fields. Recipients usually do not yet have an established position.
The nomination of candidates is a task that is given to the members of the Academia Europaea that are resident in the country that is hosting the annual meeting.
Up to ten awards can be made.The awards cover the costs of attendance and participation in the Annual Conference (travel, accommodation and registration fees).
The Burgen Scholarship award is marked by a citation and presentation ofa certificate to the successful candidates, and a non-monetary prize.
The local committee of Academia members, who are responsible for the organisation of the Annual Conference, make the final selection of the list of Burgen scholars from amongst those nominated by their fellow national members of the Academia Europaea.
