The European Academy of Philately is a society of eminent philatelists from Europe and the Mediterranean basin, as well as from other continents, who are particularly involved in European philately. Their aim is to practise, study and disseminate high-level European philately by means of meetings, exchanges of ideas, lectures, publications, exhibitions and other initiatives, in a friendly spirit of tolerance and the propagation of the European culture of today and tomorrow.
Based on a project by Frenchmen Jean Storch and Robert Françon, the Académie d'études postales was founded in Paris on 28 January 1978. In 1988, the society changed its name to the Académie européenne d'études philatéliques et postales, and on 20 May 2000, it became the Académie européenne de philatélie.
