The President's Letter
March 2026
Prof. Emeritus Giancarlo Bracale – Naples, Italy

bracale01 Dear Colleagues and Friends

This is my first letter as President of EAPE, having assumed the role immediately after the elections and the establishment of the Board of Directors.

I consider it a privilege and a great honor to have been appointed to the prestigious and certainly demanding role of President, which I hope to fulfill adequately with personal commitment and dedication, but above all thanks to the invaluable collaboration of all of you.

I joined with enthusiasm and interest when the news arrived that EAPE, the European Association of Professors Emeriti, had been established. I took part in the excellent first congress in Athens, very well organized by Dennis Cokkinos, which was followed by the equally well- organized congresses in Naples by Natale De Santo and in London by sir Les Ebdon.CLICK HERE TO READ THE WHOLE LETTER

EAPE's Position Statement
On Academic Freedom by Emeriti Professors

The European Association of Professors Emeriti (EAPE) considers that it is our right but also our duty to defend Academic Freedom.

1. Drawing on our long academic experience, we, Professors Emeriti of Europe, firmly consider that we have the responsibility to defend this principle that has survived throughout ages and to support the rights of members of the academic community to freely express their opinions even if these opinions are not in line with the prevailing ideology.
2. We object to undue interference, restriction or intimidation of academics, being confident that researchers are fully aware that Academic Freedom carries with it responsibilities like respect for evidence, intellectual honesty and adherence to ethical values and practices. It is the responsibility of the relevant academic institutions only, to safeguard that these responsibilities are observed.
