The RSE Young Academy of Scotland
The Royal Society of Edinburgh is seeking applications for the first cohort of members of the new RSE Young Academy of Scotland.
The Young Academy will be a body of individuals who have already demonstrated outstanding ability in their work, selected from the whole range of human learning and professional practice. Members of the Young Academy will normally range in age from late 20s to early 40s.
The Young Academy will:
- Create a strong voice for younger researchers and professionals to address important issues both in their own specialist areas and in matters of more general concern - a voice that is helped to resonate in places where it might have influence.
- Operate as a discussion forum that is primarily directed towards having a significant influence on circumstances and strategies that are important for them in the area within which they work.
Members will be selected through a competitive process, with appointments being made by the Council of the RSE.
The closing date for applications is 1 July 2011. Full details and application forms can be found on the RSE website at:
