About Young Academy Ireland
Young Academy Ireland (YAI) is an interdisciplinary organisation of early-career researchers and innovators that brings together individuals who will work collaboratively for the benefit of society. Globally, Young Academies provide a multidisciplinary platform allowing their members to exchange diverse views and experiences.
YAI represents early career-researchers on the island of Ireland and contributes to societal change through interdisciplinary dialogue and public engagement. YAI will, in addition, facilitate its members to contribute effectively to the development of all-island research and cultural life, to ensure that ECRIs are adequately represented and can actively participate in discussions that address global issues.
YAI strives for a membership that embodies equality, diversity and inclusion, as is also reflected in the variety of disciplines its membership is drawn from. It is a dynamic forum for early-career researchers, providing an inspiring and creative environment for the exchange and development of innovative ideas.
