Young Academy Groningen – 10 Years of Connecting, Inspiring and Creating

For ten years, Young Academy Groningen (YAG) has brought together curious minds, fresh perspectives and inspiring academics from across disciplines.

• But what does being part of YAG make possible?
• How can YAG membership shape your academic journey?
• How does YAG create opportunities for collaboration, and contribute to a stronger academic community?

Come find out how YAG supports early career researchers, learn what opportunities it can provide to you, and understand how you can connect.

Join us as we celebrate ten years of YAG by looking back at what we have achieved: From interdisciplinary research and new opportunities to lasting connections and future collaborations. Let's celebrate the past ten years and imagine what the next ten could bring.
