The UK Young Academy is a UK-wide, interdisciplinary membership organisation for people early in their career who share a passion to improve our world and want to contribute to national and global decision-making. Following its launch in 2022, the organisation is now accepting applications for its second round of members.
They are looking for enthusiastic, driven and talented emerging leaders who are based in the UK.
Open to all early-career individuals, the second call is particularly interested in applicants who work in non-academic roles (business, charity or industry), in the arts, humanities or social sciences, and those based in Wales or Northern Ireland.
As a member, you’ll be part of a worldwide network of Young Academies that provide a voice to early-career researchers, innovators and professionals from across sectors. You will collaborate with other members to address societal challenges and help to set the agenda on issues that matter most to you.
You can find out more at ukyoungacademy.org, including how to apply for free membership, and the benefits and opportunities that being a member could give you.
Closing date for applications is Tuesday 3 October 2023, 3pm (BST).
If you have any questions about applying for membership, we are running a ‘How to apply’ webinar at 1.30pm on 6 September 2023. Please visit the event page for further details.
