On the occasion of the Science Summit of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA77), the GYA held an online event titled “Young and Global – A perspective on today’s challenges in science,” which explored how research and scholarship can be pursued based on inclusiveness at the global level.
The session took place on 15 September 2022, and included over 15 GYA members and alumni discussing Open Science, North-South and South-South collaborations, the National Young Academies, Science Diplomacy, and inclusion, diversity and equity at the GYA.
The session opened with a short introduction to the GYA by Co-Chair Priscilla Kolibea Mante (Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Ghana), and was followed by presentation on GYA activities including scientific excellence, science diplomacy, national young academies, inclusion and diversity, and the GYAs SCISO science communications project.
