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. **Find out more from the [original story, in Romanian](https://unibuc.ro/conf-univ-dr-emilian-mihailov-cadru-didactic-la-facultatea-de-filosofie-a-ub-ales-membru-in-young-academy-of-europe/).** Related news ------------ - [ ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/ub1_1-800x600.jpg?token=87d4cd16b1255c0ff21e85de351d0f31)The Restored Faculty of History Building Marks the Opening of the New Academic Year at the University of Bucharest CIVIS Highlights 15 October 2026 ](https://civis.eu/en/the-civis-newsroom/the-restored-faculty-of-history-building-marks-the-opening-of-the-new-academic-year-at-the-university-of-bucharest) - [ ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/nat4dd-team-800x600.jpg?token=19580f3566e7e590a42ea7ae6661cd46)New CIVIS Joint Master’s Programme NAT4DD Earns European Approach Accreditation Study programmes 5 October 2026 ](https://civis.eu/en/the-civis-newsroom/nat4dd-new-civis-joint-master-s-programme-earns-aqas-accreditation) - [ ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/ub2-800x600.jpg?token=7fbe9406bbac2369baff7e026a35f43d)History restored at the University of Bucharest: sculptures destroyed in WW II, reinstalled CIVIS Highlights 4 September 2026 ](https://civis.eu/en/the-civis-newsroom/history-restored-at-the-university-of-bucharest) [ Discover all our stories ](https://civis.eu/en/the-civis-newsroom) [ CIVIS advocates for clear conceptualisation and criteria for a Joint European Degree ](%20https://civis.eu/en/the-civis-newsroom/civis-advocates-for-clear-conceptualisation-and-criteria-for-a-joint-european-degree%20) [ RIS4CIVIS: results of 3 years of research & innovation ](%20https://civis.eu/en/the-civis-newsroom/ris4civis-results-of-3-years-of-research-and-innovation%20) ![CIVIS – Europe’s Civic University Alliance](https://civis.eu/build/assets/civis-CCpvK1nT.svg) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Europe’s Civic University Alliance ![Co-funded by the European Union](https://civis.eu/build/assets/co-funded-by-the-european-union-DSKLW1us.png)Views and opinions expressed do not necessarily reflect those of the European Union or the European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA).
