On 22 January, 2024, we held a highly insightful and well-attended member consultation on the various science policy related activities of the YAE. On the event moderated by Scott Bremer (YAE Vice-Chair), Moniek Tromp (Outgoing Chair) and Katalin Solymosi (YAE Chair) presented how YAE is actually involved in the European Science Advice Mechanism (via YASAS and SAPEA), in science policy related work at the European level (e.g. in collaboration with Academia Europaea, the Initiative for Science in Europe, the Marie Curie Alumni Association, Eurodoc and the International Consortium for Research Staff Associations, as well as with European national young academies) as well as globally (within the International Science Council). Our involvement in the development of a peer-mentoring platform for narrative CVs, and in various working groups of the Coalition for Advancing Research Assessment (CoARA) were also discussed. If you could not attend the event or would be interested to join YAE’s activities in science advice for policy or in science policy, please do not hesitate to contact us on chair@yacadeuro.org, and to join the YAE Discord channel on which we may exchange ideas on these topics.
