Each year, the Academy recruits new members in order to enlarge or enhance its scope of reflection and action, this being carried out within a rigorous recruitment process which focuses on people’s excellence and on the visibility of their works in Europe and worldwide.
On 5 December 2018, the plenary assembly proceeded with the election of 16 new members which brings the number of Academicians to 330. Among its new members : Catherine LAMBERT, manager of CERFACS and Stéphane ANDRIEUX, Scientific Chief Executive of ONERA.
