TWAS Young Affiliates: The 2023 call is open

TWAS Young Affiliates: The 2023 call is open

Early-career scientists can gain connections and opportunities through TWAS

Every year, TWAS’s Regional Partners select up to 25 scientists younger than 40 as Young Affiliates. The honour is given to developing-nation researchers with at least 10 international publications who show potential for a high-impact career.

During their six-year tenure, Young Affiliates build networks with other affiliates and with elected TWAS Fellows and attend international conferences such as the TWAS General Meeting.

To be eligible for selection, researchers must:

  • be aged 40 or less on 1 January of the year in which they are selected;
  • have been living and working in a developing country for at least the preceding three years;
  • have an excellent track record of at least 10 international publications in peer-reviewed journals.

Interested scientists should contact the TWAS Regional Partner in their region by following the guidelines below.
