In the absence of a global network of Young Academies, the GYA has in the past few years been able to act as a facilitator or network provider for the world’s young academies so that they can talk to each other, learn from each other, work together etc.
The GYA’s engagement with the (national) young academies as a network provider, facilitator, convener and partner falls into six areas:
Most of the GYA’s work with/for the world’s young academies is longer-term, not so easily pin-downable as a concrete, short-term project. As this work is a lot based on collaboration with partners, the GYA also at times does not have much influence over how long a specific activity takes or whether they get finalised; e.g., the GYA cannot itself set up a young academy in a particular country – but GYA members and staff can support a group of people (GYA members and non-members) who are working towards creating a young academy in a country where currently no young academy yet exists.
This GYA Committee was established in October 2025.
The committee is open to all GYA members and alumni interested to further the GYA’s work with and for the world’s young academies.
Members and alumni engaged in the following will automatically be considered to be members of this committee:
There will be an annual call, after each AGM, jointly with calls for new members for all GYA Committees. Joining the Committee mid-GYA-year is also possible, e.g., if a GYA member takes up the role of YASAS Delegate or joins a group of people working to set up a (National) Young Academy at some point during the year.
Membership of GYA activities is reserved to current or former GYA members only, so please log in to view further information and options.
As a non-member, you can sign up for the monthly GYA newsletter by using the newsletter sign-up form at the very bottom of this page.
