At the request of the editorial board of Magyar Tudomány, Bernadette Kun, Boldizsár Szentgáli-Tóth, Éva Dékány, Gábor Kecskés, Ágnes Máté, Katalin Solymosi, Péter Török, and Imola Wilhelm undertook the task of jointly evoking and chronicling in an article the chief milestones of the brief but all the more eventful history of the Hungarian Young Academy, from its beginnings in 2016 to the present day. The article compiles the HYA’s guiding principles and profiles all the co-chairs who, sparing no time or energy, have spearheaded the efforts of advocacy  for the sake of young researchers. It also highlights the publications and surveys which, thanks to systematic, data-driven work, have made it possible to increase the visibility of young researchers and to seek increasingly effective solutions to the problems specifically affecting them, in collaboration with science policy stakeholders. Their countless professional and community-building events demonstrate that the highly diverse membership of the organization carries out this crucial work in a positive atmosphere, with the fundamental goal of “ensuring transparency and equal opportunities for all young researchers.”
