List of members of the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters (current)

The Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters has about 880 members.

There are classes for Sciences and Letters, respectively, and also subgroups within them. The subgroups are further classified into so-called "ordinary members" and members over 70 years old, because 70 is the retirement age in Norway.

Members are elected to the society for lifetime. The maximum number of ordinary members is 140 Norwegian and 100 foreign members for the Mathematics and sciences class, and 110 Norwegian and 60 foreign members for the Letters class. Postitions for new members are available when an ordinary member dies or passes the 70 years age limit.[1]
