Global Young Academy - applications for membership now open

You are encouraged to consider applying for membership of the Global Young Academy for 2016.

The Global Young Academy (GYA) aims to be the voice of young scientists around the world. The academy empowers early-career researchers to lead international, interdisciplinary and intergenerational dialogue by developing and mobilizing talent from six continents. The GYA promotes active collaborations between the developed and developing world, stimulates transnational research, advocates for innovations in science policy and raises the profile of science in society through outreach activities.

The GYA works to strengthen international networks of researchers. GYA members are regularly invited to represent young scientists at external meetings, providing input to international organizations such as UNESCO, the WEF, and the UN Secretary-General’s Scientific Advisory Board. The GYA cooperates with the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC).

Young scientists (generally up to 10 years post-PhD) are appointed to the GYA on a competitive basis, considering (i) their demonstrated research excellence, and (ii) their commitment to improving the state of science and its links to broader society. Members serve a five-year term and currently come from over 50 countries.


More information about the call for applications is available via www.globalyoungacademy.net (call closes on Sept 27th)
