Young Academy Leiden

The Young Academy Leiden (YAL) is a select group of young academics at Leiden University. Founded in early 2019, it serves as a platform to bring young, enthusiastic and driven early career (post-PhD) academics together.

YAL members represent a variety of scientific and scholarly disciplines and come from all faculties of Leiden University. YAL's mission centers around three pillars: interdisciplinarity, science and education policy, and outreach. Community & communication serves as an umbrella that – in addition to its own activities – works with all three workgroups on the community and communication related aspects of their activities.

See 'About us’ for more information about our mission and the organisational structure of YAL.
