About the Young Academy of Europe

In December 2012, the Young Academy of Europe was officially established as an independent association of top young researchers in Europe, at a constituent meeting held in Brussels (Belgium), with logistical and financial support from COST Horizon Europe. YAE established a partnership with Academia Europaea (AE), the most important forum for the recognition of scientific excellence at European level.

The Young Academy of Europe is a dynamic and innovative initiative. It recognises young researchers who have exceptional achievements and academic leadership qualities, at European level. The institution gives a voice to younger generations to make a vital contribution to shapingic policy at European Union level for the benefit of future European scholars.

YAE’s key objectives

advice and feedback on science policy across Europe from a ‘younger’ perspective;
the involvement of top young researchers in the future European research strategy, such as FSEL’s long-term plans and roadmaps;
promoting evidence-based policies in all European countries;
supporting young scientists in Europe in their further development and strategic thinking of their own discipline;
creating and promoting a network of top young researchers from all disciplines in Europe.
