Welcome to the UK Young Academy
We’re thrilled to announce the expansion of our network with 42 new members from across the UK. Selected from a diverse range of fields, each bring their own expertise to our interdisciplinary organisation.
Our goal
Shaping a better future together
The UK Young Academy is an interdisciplinary organisation of UK-based early-career researchers, innovators and professionals from across society who share a passion to improve our world.
As part of a global initiative of Young Academies, we will give a voice to individuals with ideas, initiative and drive who wish to work together to contribute to national and global decision-making and change.
Make a difference
We will provide an opportunity for our members to actively participate in discussions that address societal or global challenges, inform public debate and bring about meaningful change.
Open to all
We aim to be an inclusive and open organisation, providing a voice for individuals from many different sectors and backgrounds to share ideas, develop thinking and meet others.
Strive for excellence
We are a forum for talented emerging leaders to apply their own expertise alongside that of colleagues from other fields, both in the UK and elsewhere in the world.
As an early-career professional, it can sometimes feel like you are one small voice in a large crowd. Young Academies have the unique ability to bring together those voices and, through their collective action, raise them up so they can be part of the conversations today that will shape all our tomorrows.
