The Young Academy of Europe (YAE) held its annual AGM jointly with the Academia Europaea (AE) and All European Academies (ALLEA) from 3-4 September 2017. The topic of the meeting “Sustainability and Resilience” is linked with the new Horizon2020-funded Scientific Advice for Policy by European Academies (SAPEA) project, in which the AE and ALLEA are partners.
GYA Members Borys Wróbel and Gergely Toldi introduced the GYA at this meeting, presenting examples of activities they are involved in from the Working Groups: Women in Science, Importance of Fundamental Research, Global Health, and Scientific Excellence. They also spoke with young scientists and researchers in Europe interested in establishing national young academies in their own country.
