Inaugural General Assembly Meeting of the Global Young Academy
The Global Young Academy (GYA) will hold its inaugural general assembly meeting from March 20th to 22nd at the German Institute for Economic Research in Berlin (DIW Berlin). The GYA is an international and independent institution of approximately 100 young scientists from 46 countries. The initial support of the InterAcademy Panel (IAP) was instrumental in founding the organization, and more recent generous financial support from the Volkswagen Foundation of Germany has enabled the development and growth of the GYA. The meeting will also mark the launch of the GYA Secretariat, which will be located in Berlin, Germany. The head of the Department of International Economics at DIW, Tilman Brück, is a member of the Executive Committee of the GYA.
