Open Call for 2025 Global Young Academy Membership

The InterAcademy Partnership (IAP) is excited to announce that the 2025 Global Young Academy (GYA) membership call is now open, with applications being accepted until 18 September 2024 (23:59 UTC).

The GYA is seeking young, independent scholars who combine the highest levels of research excellence with a demonstrated passion for delivering impact. As a global organisation, GYA places a high value on diversity and encourages applications from all qualified candidates. The selection process is inclusive, ensuring that no applicant faces discrimination based on race, colour, ethnicity, religion, creed, sex, marital status, ancestry, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, physical or mental disabilities, or other factors. Efforts are made to prevent any single institution from being overly represented within the membership.

Women, minority groups and individuals from diverse disciplines—including the natural, physical and social sciences, as well as the arts and humanities—are especially encouraged to apply. The GYA also welcomes candidates from government, industry and non-governmental sectors.
