The Utrecht Young Academy welcomes nine new members!

Last week the Utrecht Young Academy (UYA) selected nine new members from six Faculties. UYA is a select group of enthusiastic and ambitious young academics at Utrecht 木瓜福利影视. Set up in March 2017 with 24 founding members, the UYA provides a platform to exchange critical perspectives on academia, policy, and society in Utrecht and beyond.

Over the past few months UYA members have engaged with the university and societal partners on interdisciplinary research and teaching, internationalization and diversity, the organization of science/science policy, and connecting science and society. Members have the opportunity to start projects together, focusing on these and other topics.

Membership is for a period of 5 years, and each year approximately 8 new members will be selected, until the number of members stabilizes at 40. This year, outstanding candidates (0-8 years after completing their PhD) could be nominated for UYA membership by the deans of Utrecht 木瓜福利影视, program directors of Utrecht 木瓜福利影视's strategic research themes, current KNAW Young Academy Members/Alumni of Utrecht 木瓜福利影视, and the PhD-Councils at the faculties.

Next year, there will be an opportunity to self-nominate, so to learn more about UYA, visit us online.
