About YATSI
The Young Academy of Technology, Science, and Innovation (YATSI) is established by the Danish Academy of Technical Sciences (ATV) as a new scientific academy for young talented researchers and engineers working within Danish academia and industry.
The key purpose of YATSI is to strengthen applied research and innovation in the technical sciences, strengthen collaboration between academia and industry by shaping and extending networks between these two integral sectors, while providing some of Denmark’s most talented young researchers and engineers with a public voice to influence decision-making on topics relating to science and technology-based innovation and entrepreneurship.
The members are all prominent profiles with strong international experience and interesting views on science, technology, innovation, and society.
YATSI further aims to support its members’ further career development and strengthen interdisciplinary networks across science, technology, and engineering.
