The Young Academy Twente (YAT) is looking for new members.

Are you an early-career researcher or teacher who wants to actively shape the future of the University of Twente? Would you like to contribute to an environment where early-career academics can reach their full potential? And are you interested in connecting with peers across all faculties?

Then consider joining YAT.

As YAT, we build a community of young academics, provide a platform for academic leadership, and strengthen our university's societal impact. YAT has three core tasks:

• Support. We support early-career academics in their development as educators, scientists, leaders, and entrepreneurs within and beyond their own fields. We contribute to an inclusive and inspiring working environment at UT.
• Advise. We provide both solicited and unsolicited advice to the UT community (including the Executive Board and Strategic Board) on topics related to research, education, and innovation.
• Connect. We foster interdisciplinarity and strengthen the connection between science and society.

As a YAT member, you actively contribute to these core tasks, with an expected time investment of approximately 8 hours per month. This can include organizing events, contributing to policy discussions, or initiating your own ideas and activities.
