Submitted on 12th March 2013

ALLEA (All European Academies) International E-Humanities Task Force…

Dr Sandra Collins has been appointed Chair of the ALLEA (All European Academies) International E-Humanities Task Force.

ALLEA, the federation of All European Academies, was founded in 1994 and currently brings together 52 Academies in more than 40 countries from the Council of Europe region. Member Academies operate as learned societies, think tanks and research performing organisations. They are self- governing communities of leaders of scholarly enquiry across all fields of the natural sciences, the social sciences and the humanities. ALLEA therefore provides access to an unparalleled human resource of intellectual excellence, experience and expertise.

Independent from political, commercial and ideological interests, ALLEA’s policy work seeks to contribute to improving the framework conditions under which science and scholarship can excel. Jointly with its Member Academies, ALLEA is in a position to address the full range of structural and policy issues facing Europe in science, research and innovation. In doing so, it is guided by a common understanding of Europe bound together by historical, social and political factors as well as for scientific and economic reasons.

Prof. Stock, the President of ALLEA, inaugurated the new E-Humanities Task Force in November 2012 in Berlin, and Dr. Collins was appointed as Chair.

The Task Force is charged with identifying and raising awareness for priorities and concerns of the E-Humanities, and contributing to the Open Access agenda from a Humanities and Social Sciences perspective, and building consensus for common standards and best practices in E-Humanities.

The next face-to-face meeting of the Task Force will be held in the Royal Irish Academy in May 2013.
