- 2019 Declaration on the Guiding Principles of Young Academies
- 2017 Statement on The role of young academies in achieving the UN SDGs
- Young Academies in Europe established YASAS – the Young Academies Science Advice Structure, for science advice to the European Union, in Dec 2020 (more information will follow soon)
