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)
