Global Young Academy

The vision of the Global Young Academy (GYA) is science for all; science for the future, and its mission to give a voice to young scientists around the world.

The GYA develops, connects and mobilises young talent from six continents, and empowers young researchers to lead international, interdisciplinary and intergenerational dialogue. The GYA aims to elevate the voice of young scientists in evidence-informed and inclusive global, regional and national decision making.

The GYA has 200 members, comprised of passionate young scientists, typically 3-10 years after their PhD, between 30 to 40 years of age, and in the early stages of their independent academic careers. Members are selected for their scientific excellence and commitment to engage with society, and serve five-year terms. The GYA also has an engaged body of 407 alumni (as of 2023) spread around the globe. Members and alumni together represent over 100 countries.

The vibrancy of this global community is a result of the energy of its members, who are passionate about the role of science in creating a better world.
