For the fourth year in a row, we are organising Young Academy Day – a platform for discussions on research and the future, with the perspective of younger researchers at the centre. This time the conference will be held in English and takes place during Nobel week.

The future of research begins with young minds willing to ask questions, imagine new possibilities, and challenge what is already known. This conference brings together students, researchers, and future academics to explore how an interest in research takes shape and how it can be sustained over time.
We welcome participants who are newly curious about academia, those preparing to take their next steps toward research careers, and those already navigating the early stages of academic life. The conference is also intended for anyone concerned with the conditions that shape doctoral education.
Together, we will discuss not only pathways into research, but also challenges, belonging, motivation, resilience, and the power of intellectual communities. By sharing experiences across disciplines and career stages, the conference aims to inspire a new generation to see academia not only as a profession, but as a space for creativity, purpose, and impact.
We are delighted to announce that Nobel laureate Anne L’Huillier will be one of the speakers. Members of the Young Academy will also take part, along with other young researchers.
The hosts for the day are Elham Rostami, Chair, and David Marlevi, Vice Chair of the Young Academy of Sweden.
