Since 1776, the purpose of this scholarly society has been “the study of Arts, Letters, Sciences, Agriculture and Local History…”.
Heir to the Enlightenment, the Académie des Sciences Lettres et Arts d'Agen, or more simply the Société Académique d'Agen, was founded in 1776 under the impulse of scholars such as Lacépède, Boudon de Saint Amans, Paganel… to discuss topics such as physics, chemistry, astronomy, natural history, or prehistory, political, administrative, social history. Literature and Occitan are also strongly represented. Agriculture is at the heart of research.
Its motto: «Nexu sociantur amico».
