A learned society is an association of academically educated persons to promote several academic disciplines or several classes of academic disciplines.

membership

Membership can either be acquired by anyone, require certain qualifications, or - as is the case with some of the oldest learned societies - be awarded as an award. The latter is supported, for example, by the Italian Accademia dei Lincei (founded 1603), the German Leopoldina (founded 1652), the London-based Royal Society (founded 1660) and the French academies, which are united under the umbrella organization Institut de France , such as the Académie française (founded 1634) and the Académie des sciences (founded 1666).
