!About the AE Cardiff Hub

The Cardiff Hub was officially launched at the 2016 Academia Europaea Annual Meeting, following a collaboration agreement between __Academia Europaea__ and [Cardiff University|https://www.cardiff.ac.uk].

Since then, we have played a key role in the European Scientific Advice Mechanism.

This includes coordinating evidence reviews that inform policymaking by the European Commission.
