Young Arts Network

The Young Arts Network (YARN) was founded in 2017 to strengthen and promote talented early-career researchers within the University of Groningen Faculty of Arts.

YARN brings together enthusiastic, ambitious and talented junior (early career) scientific staff to:

• stimulate interdisciplinary cooperation (both in education and research);
• promote exchanges of experience and best practices (both in education and research);
• help new colleagues find their way both within the faculty organization and in their careers;
• give early career academic staff a voice in the faculty research and education policy.

The members of YARN undertake, among other things, the following activities:

• co-organizing faculty research meetings;
• providing interdisciplinary peer support in the preparation of research proposals;
• consultation with the Dean and advising the Faculty Board.
