and fields such as literary studies, linguistics, history, or art history. (Often these terms are calques from Latin ''scientia'' (the etymological source of English ''science'') and, accordingly, derivatives of the verb 'know', such as German ''Wissenschaft,'' Swedish ''vetenskap,'' Hungarian ''tudomány,'' Estonian ''teadus'' or Finnish ''tiede''.) Accordingly, for example the Austrian Academy of Sciences ''(Österreichische Akademie der Wissenschaften),'' the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (''Magyar Tudományos Akadémia''), or the Estonian Academy of Sciences ''(Eesti Teaduste Akadeemia)'' also cover the areas of social sciences and humanities. As the engineering sciences have become more varied and advanced, there is a recent trend in many advanced countries to organize the

Additionally, there are many regional associations such as ALLEA in Europe, NASAC as the Network of African Science Academies, IANAS in Latin America, and AASSA in Asia. Apart from national academies of science, there are now increasingly also national young academies. National young academies usually select members for a limited term, normally 4–5 years, after which members become academy alumni. Young academies typically engage with issues important to young scientists. These include, for example, science education or the dialog between science and society. Most young academies are affiliated with a senior Academy of Sciences or with a network of senior academies. The
