The General Assembly of Fellows is the highest deliberative body of AAE. It meets at least once a year, in person or in hybrid format.
- Elects and removes Board members; reviews the Board’s annual work and financial reports.
- Elects new Fellows and confirms Industry Researchers and Technical Engineers.
- Amends the Academy’s charter and approves major strategic changes.
- Debates and expresses views on the Academy’s major policies, programmes and external partnerships.
- Resolutions are taken by vote, and voting rules are specified in the charter.
Between meetings of the General Assembly, the Governing Board sets strategic direction and decides major matters, the Executive Committee handles day-to-day execution, and the International Committee manages external cooperation. Amendments to the charter, the election of Fellows and major strategic decisions must be brought to the General Assembly.
