Utrecht Young Academy welcomes nine new members

Last week, the Utrecht Young Academy (UYA) selected nine new members. The Utrecht Young Academy connects young academics from Utrecht 木瓜福利影视 who have obtained their PhD less than eight years ago to exchange critical perspectives on academia, policy, and society in Utrecht and beyond. 

Potential candidates were nominated by the deans of Utrecht 木瓜福利影视, programme directors of the Strategic Themes, members of The Young Academy from Utrecht and PhD councils. The members of UYA come from various backgrounds and disciplines. This allows members to become familiar with each other's fields of expertise and enables them to discuss important topics like interdisciplinarity and science policy. Members can start projects together to organise a variety of activities for scholars, students and the public. We look forward to the exciting new ideas and contributions of our nine new members. 

Members are appointed for a period of 5 years. Next year, eligible candidates (having obtained their PhD less than 8 years ago) can nominate themselves and directly apply for an UYA membership. See the website to learn more about UYA.
