Global network

Working together in an interdisciplinary way

Die Junge Akademie is part of a growing global network, which it also actively shapes. Bilateral exchange at the international level is also becoming increasingly important.

Arab-German Young Academy of Sciences and Humanities (AGYA)

The Arab-German Young Academy of Sciences and Humanities (AGYA) was founded in 2013 as the first bilateral young academy worldwide. AGYA promotes research cooperation between outstanding early-career scholars from all disciplines who are affiliated with a research institution in Germany or an Arab country. The academy offers its members the unique opportunity to carry out interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary projects at the interface of research, science policy and capacity building, and to expand their research portfolio and international networks through mobility grants in the Arab world and Germany.

Young Network TransEurope (YNT)

In February 2024, Die Junge Akademie and the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities (BBAW), together with a number of partner institutions, published the manifesto "Reclaiming Europe". The manifesto outlines the role and social responsibility of the sciences and humanities in relation to a democratic and united Europe, in particular with regard to the war of aggression against Ukraine and its consequences. The signatories of the manifesto are in favour of increased scientific exchange with Eastern European countries and want to create a platform for perspectives from and on Eastern Europe with the Young Network TransEurope. The network is primarily intended to strengthen the voices of excellent young academics.

Applications for a five-year membership are open until 12 September 2025. All information can be found here.
