Interested in becoming a member of The Young Academy? Let your supervisor know
Are you a young scientist with a strong record and broad and committed vision on the (future of) science policy, science and society, interdisciplinarity, and internationalisation? As a member of The Young Academy you can dedicate yourself to these themes.
Every year, the Young Academy of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW) welcomes ten new members. The university may soon nominate six candidates for the national selection round 2027. All Faculties and Interfaculty Institutes have been invited to suggest suitable candidates for consideration in the internal selection. Do you want to become a member? Then make your interest in DJA membership known now!
Conditions
You meet the conditions for nomination if:
- you have obtained your PhD after 1 April 2017 (KNAW extension arrangement applies)
- you have at least a good passive command of the Dutch language
- and you meet the profile description as outlined in the regulations (in particular Art. 3.1 and Art. 5)
How to make your interest known
Tell your superior and director of research or scientific director about your interest. They can then consider you for the Faculty’s upcoming selection of the four candidates who may be nominated per Faculty or Interfaculty Institute to the rector. From these, the rector will then choose six candidates for nomination on behalf of our university to the KNAW/Young Academy.
