Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences
During the period of the Kingdom of Holland (1806-1810), King Louis Napoleon (brother of Napoleon Bonaparte) promulgated a decree, on 4 May 1808, founding the Royal Institute of Sciences, Letters and Arts ('Koninklijk Instituut van Wetenschappen, Letterkunde en Schoone Kunsten'). The current name Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences dates from 1938, although it was not allowed to bear the designation 'Royal' during the Occupation in the Second World War.
The Secretariat of ALLEA (All European Academies) sits within the Academy’s building. The RSE is a member of ALLEA.
A joint high-level meeting on brain sciences was held in Amsterdam in October 2004 during the Scottish Executive’s Scotland in the Netherlands season. Click here to view the report (PDF File).
