The Young Academy of Europe provide input and advice from a younger generation’s perspective – a vital input to shape EU-wide policy for the benefit of future European scholars.
The key aims of the YAE are to:
- Provide advice and feedback on science policy across Europe, from a “younger” perspective
- Involve top young scientists in the future European research strategy, such as Long Range Plans and ESF Roadmaps
- Promote evidence-based policy across all European countries
- Support other young scientists in Europe in their further development and in thinking strategically about the future of their own discipline
- Create and foster a network of top young researchers across the disciplines in Europe
The YAE focuses on (but is not limited to) the following main aims and activities:
- Science policy and evidence-based policy
- Networking
- Science Communication
- Interdisciplinary Exchange
- Equality, Diversity and Inclusion
The YAE is open to leading young scholars whose excellence has been recognised by their peers (for instance, holders of prestigious European or national research grants or awards).
The decision by the YAE Selection Committee on the admission of new members will be based on the scientific qualification and achievements of the candidates, as demonstrated by their CV and the recommendation letters, as well as their willingness to actively contribute to the YAE. These points should be clearly addressed in the submitted documents. And, with these requirements, the YAE Selection Committee has admitted Dr. Víctor Vilarrasa as a member
