The European Association for Decision Making, or EADM, is an interdisciplinary organization dedicated to the academic study of theories of decision making. The organization is an outgrowth of a series of biannual conferences held in Europe between 1969 and 1993, when the Association was officially organized.
The organization sponsors the annual de Finetti Award, named after statistician Bruno de Finetti, and organizes the biannual SPUDM conferences on probability and decision making.

—Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)

“Will mankind never learn that policy is not morality,—that it never secures any moral right, but considers merely what is expedient? chooses the available candidate,—who is invariably the devil,—and what right have his constituents to be surprised, because the devil does not behave like an angel of light? What is wanted is men, not of policy, but of probity,—who recognize a higher law than the Constitution, or the decision of the majority.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Making a book is a craft, like making a clock; it needs more than native wit to be an author.”
—Jean De La Bruyère (1645–1696)
