Every year, TWAS’s Regional Partners select up to 25 scientists younger than 40 as Young Affiliates. The honour is given to researchers from developing nations who show potential for a high-impact career. During their six-year tenures, Young Affiliates build networks with other affiliates and with elected TWAS Fellows and attend international conferences such as the TWAS General Meeting. Interested scientists should contact the TWAS Regional Partner in their region by following the guidelines below. Countries served by each partner are available here.
