Welcoming new members is at the heart of the young academy. I’m genuinely excited to learn more about their research and what they’re passionate to get involved in over the year ahead.

Next on the agenda is Almedalen where the Royal Swedish Academy of Young Scientists will be present, and in August we will organise the summer school Research meetings in Fiskebäckskil. The major research event Young Academy Day – Science as a Bridge Builder will take place on the 23rd of October in Stockholm, please mark your calendars.
The Young Academy is open to outstanding and independent researchers from all fields who are an outstanding and independent researcher; have an interest and capacity to engage in issues and activities within the academy; obtained their PhD approximately 2–10 years ago and are actively conducting research in Sweden.
The Academy’s work is supported by funders who wish to strengthen early-career researchers and enhance the impact of research in society. Members collaborate on major issues of importance to science and society, supported by a secretariat.
The Young Academy of Sweden is an independent, interdisciplinary academy for a selection of the most prominent, younger researchers in Sweden. The academy is an independent platform that gives young researchers a strong voice in the research policy debate and works to disseminate research to children and young people. The activities are carried out by a CEO and a secretariat located at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences at Frescati, Stockholm. The Young Academy of Sweden was established in 2011 and has 35–40 members elected for a five-year term.
