Creating connections is a series of regional and national meetings, that address the scientific and technical opportunities and challenges faced by the UK. Creating connections meetings are hosted across the UK, with the next event to be held in Liverpool.
The UK Young Academy (UKYA) will be hosting two events at this meeting: a regional member’s meeting, and a session bringing together members and industry representatives to form new connections to share knowledge and explore routes for collaboration.
Event attendance is by invitation only. If you are an industry representative and interested to join, please contact enquiries@ukyoungacademy.org for more information.

In this session, members of the UKYA and invited industry representatives will engage in roundtable discussions to cultivate working relationships, facilitate collaborations, and explore learning and development opportunities.
For UKYA members, this session is an opportunity to forge connections and shape future initiatives with industry partners, which is a core part of the remit and mission of the UKYA. Members will explore how the Young Academy can work with industry representatives in its activities and work programmes and ensure that the views and experiences of early-career industry professionals are represented in its membership.
Industry professionals will meet some of the UKYA’s exceptional members, a diverse group of early-career professionals, including researchers, innovators, clinicians, and entrepreneurs. Each of our members have made significant contributions to their field and share interest in advancing interdisciplinary work. The session will not only facilitate the exchange of knowledge and explore the experiences of early-career individuals who are passionate about tackling the societal and global challenges of today but will serve as a unique opportunity to network and foster relationships beyond the event.
