How can artistic and collaborative methods in transdisciplinary research bridge local and scientific worldviews?

The Swiss Young Academy (SYA) has established a sounding board as a new advisory body to specifically strengthen the evaluation and implementation of its members' joint projects. The election of the first four Sounding Board members by the Board of Directors of the Swiss Academies of Arts and Sciences represents another important step in the further development of the Young Academy, five years after its foundation.

She looks for change in her research: Clara Zemp is Professor of Conservation Biology at the University of Neuchâtel – and seeks dialogue across disciplines. At the Swiss Young Academy, she finds space to rethink science and reflect on her social role as a scientist.

The members of the Swiss Young Academy elected their new Executive Board for 2025/26. Nawal Kinany was appointed as the new speaker, Sabrina Heike Kessler will serve as the vice-speaker. In their one-year term of office, they intend to further strengthen the Swiss Young Academy as a vibrant platform that advocates for and amplifies the perspectives of early and mid-career researchers throughout Switzerland.
