The Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters has a set of initiatives under the Science advice umbrella, and one important pillar is the ALLEA membership.

ALLEA, the European Federation of Academies of Sciences and Humanities, was founded in 1994, and currently brings together almost 60 Academies in more than 40 countries from the Council of Europe region. ALLEA therefore provides access to an unparalleled human resource of intellectual excellence, experience and expertise

Working Groups
ALLEA Working Groups are advisory bodies of temporary duration concerned with specific issues and providing advice and guidance on matters to do with science, science management and science policy.
