Young Leaders Academy Fellows 2024

The ambition of the EUTOPIA Young Leaders Academy (YLA) is to support research exchanges between high-potential, early to mid-career researchers, coming from all EUTOPIA partner universities and to support their career development.

Members of the EUTOPIA YLA will constitute a community of promising independent research leaders at the scale of EUTOPIA, sharing and promoting European values and the EUTOPIA vision of an interconnected academic environment.
EUTOPIA Young Leaders Academy Fellows will be given the opportunity to:

  • develop their research leadership skills through a dedicated training programme.
  • take part in interdisciplinary scholarly exchange and research networking activities, among fellows and with the broader EUTOPIA research community.
  • initiate research collaborations within the EUTOPIA Alliance.
  • contribute to the development of a challenge-based and student-shaped curriculum, through the development of research-led learning units open to undergraduate and graduate students.
  • act as EUTOPIA ambassadors, contributing to the Alliance’s activities and fostering the emergence of an integrated research community at the EUTOPIA scale.

The YLA is open to early to mid-career researchers, preferably between 2 to 12 years after PhD completion, YLA fellows will be appointed for a period of 2 years.
We are delighted to announce that EUTOPIA Global Partners Stellenbosch University (SU) and Monash University (MU) are joining the 3rd call of the YLA. The presence of these universities will further diversify and internationalise this group of promising researchers from EUTOPIA.
Applicants should already be formally appointed with one of the Universities of the EUTOPIA Alliance (or with SU or MU) and hold a tenured or tenure-track position or major research fellowship.
