A list of The Young Academy’s publications, position statements and official letters.
Universities claim to have ambitious sustainability plans but fall short on effectiveness and consistency. After analysing the sustainability plans of all Dutch public knowledge institutions, The Young Academy and Green Young Academy are asking them to sign a manifesto in which they undertake to work together to accelerate the climate transition.

The Young Academy is critical of the new 'Tulip Fund'. It calls for nominations for grants from the fund to be based not only on scientific excellence but above all on protecting scientists and scholars who are unable to carry out their work in safety. The fund should also focus on young scientists and researchers from across the entire scientific spectrum. To that end, coordination between organisations drawing on the fund is essential.

Scientists are shapers of the future: it is only with science and scholarship that the Netherlands can tackle the major challenges of tomorrow. We are living in a time of geopolitical tensions, climate change, undemocratic trends, rapid AI developments, and unpredictable threats to public health. That is precisely why scientific knowledge and a strong research infrastructure are indispensable.

Higher education institutions are becoming increasingly dependent on large commercial tech companies for their IT needs. This growing reliance risks undermining their autonomy and academic freedom. The Young Academy therefore calls for a more responsible and deliberate approach to the use of technology in higher education.

In May 2024, Universities of the Netherlands (UNL) and Association of Universities of Applied Sciences (VH) published a directive on protests at research universities and universities of applied sciences.

The Young Academy endorses the Academy's recent statement ‘Research knows no borders: Preserve the open science system.’ In its statement, the Academy argues that international research talent should be nurtured while pursuing a well-considered language policy.

The Young Academy responds to the 'Wet internationalisering in balans' bill. High-quality science and scholarship depend on the international exchange of knowledge, scholars and students. Moreover, The Young Academy sees language as an inadequate and inefficient instrument to control the inflow of international students in higher education.
