The University of Twente is committed to creating an inspiring environment for young scientists, who are at the beginning of a promising academic career and offering them the opportunity to reach their full potential by actively shaping the UT. For this purpose, the Young Academy Twente (YAT) was established in 2011, following the example of the Young Royal Dutch Academy of Arts and Sciences.
Mission: "YAT is here to build a community of young academics, facilitate a learning platform for academic leadership, and thereby strengthen the societal impact of our university."
