YATSI – bridging young researchers, scientific disciplines and industry
With DKK 5 million from VILLUM FONDEN and support from the Danish Academy of Technical Sciences (ATV), the first Young Academy of Technology, Science and Innovation is founded in Denmark - with the acronym YATSI.
YATSI will unite young scientists and professionals from academia and industry across the STEM fields in a unique scientific network. The ambition is to create a public voice, to strengthen science-based innovation and entrepreneurship, STEM educations, and bridge industrial and academic science from the bottom up.
Engage, debate and create
YATSI aims to:
- Foster the exchange of scientific ideas and interdisciplinary knowledge between academia and industry ranging across a multitude of STEM fields
- Strengthen strategic collaborations as well as science-based innovation and entrepreneurship
- Support early-career professionals from the natural and technical sciences in establishing professional networks across both academia and industry.
- Amplify the public voice of young scientists and STEM professionals – in DK and internationally
YATSI will be a daughter organization to ATV. The members of YATSI have promising careers as researchers in academia or industry, and the intention is to create synergy between the two organizations.
