Our previous members

The Young Academy of Sweden has been in existence since 2011 and several generations of members have become alumni. Today, over 70 former members form a growing network of distinguished researchers. We are keen to retain our alumni in our network and for them to stay in touch with each other. Regular activities are organised with the alumni and several conduct joint research projects.
