The Regional Office for Latin America and the Caribbean (ROLAC) of the International Council for Science (ICSU) is pleased to circulate the call for new members to join the Global Young Academy (GYA).

The call for the GYA membership starting in 2018 is open until 24 September 2017. More information on the following website:
http://globalyoungacademy.net/call-for-new-members/

The call is open to early and mid-career scientists from all research disciplines and all world regions. We especially encourage applications from women scientists, scholars in the social sciences, arts and humanities as well as researchers working in government, industry, and non-governmental sectors. Moreover, we are looking for more young scientists from regions in which we are less well-represented (see http://globalyoungacademy.net/membership-map/).

About the Global Young Academy:
Founded in 2010, the Global Young Academy (GYA) is an international organization of young researchers with members from six continents. Members are elected for five-year terms. Each member is expected to participate in the Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the GYA (the AGM 2018 will be held from 7-11 May in Thailand) and to actively contribute to one or more of the organisation’s programmes. This includes participation, e.g., in policy development, promotion of the National Young Academies, or promoting science and education at the international level. More about the GYA: http://globalyoungacademy.net.
