- Activities Overview
GYA members engage in working groups, projects and collaborations with international partner organisations. These activities, all relevant to societal and scientific debate, are clustered in the following thematic areas:
GYA members come together in interdisciplinary groups and projects to address global challenges relevant at the intersection of science and society, on issues such as biodiversity, global health, climate change, science advice, and science diplomacy.
This theme encompasses working groups and projects dealing with the conditions in which research – inside and outside academia – is embedded. Activities include support and advocacy for women in science and at-risk scholars, discussions and engagement on open science and research evaluation, as well as research on the conditions of young scientists in different world regions.
Promoting science education and outreach has always been a pillar of GYA member activities. In these projects, GYA members focus on international exchange, education for youth and citizen science.
The GYA as a global organisation supports the 2030 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). GYA activities, outputs and statements are linked here in the context of how they contribute to these 17 international goals.
