The UAI is the global organisation of national academies in the fields of the humanities and social sciences. Its aims are to initiate, recognise, foster and fund basic long-term international research projects.

Created in 1919 in Paris with a general secretariat established in Brussels, the UAI comprises at the moment more than a hundred academies from 63 countries from all over the world.

We would like to congratulate Professor Lieu on this singular honour, and wish him much success in his new role
