The first world wide meeting for young academies

The first meeting for young academies world wide was held in Amsterdam 2012, co-organized by the Global Young Academy and the Dutch Young Academy. 

In 2012 the “Shaping the Future of Young Academies” symposium were held in Amsterdam co-organized by Global Young Academy and the Dutch Young Academy. The symposium brought together nearly all existing young academies from Europe, Africa and Asia, and many growing initiatives to establish National Young Academies (NYA). 57 participants representing 31 NYA and initiatives met to exchange ideas and discuss possibilities for collaborations. They agreed on a follow-up meeting in about 2 years with regional meetings and/or exchange in probably all three continents in between. GYA and DJA made the results of the meeting accessible to the growing international Young Academy Movement.
