The
Academy of Social Sciences is a representative body for
social sciences in the
UK. The Academy promotes social science through its sponsorship of the
Campaign for Social Science, its links with Government on a variety of matters, and its own policy work in issuing public comment, responding to official consultations, and organising meetings and events about social science. It confers the title of Fellow upon nominated social scientists following a process of peer review. As of March 2015, the Academy comprised over 1000 Fellows and 43
learned societies based in the UK and Europe.
