In December 2025, the GYA Executive Committee participated in the third Hong Kong Science Summit on “Converging Knowledge, Inspiring Future”, where they signed a Memorandum of Understanding between the HKYAS and the represented young organisations.

As the GYA’s 15 Year Anniversary draws to a close, we’re thrilled to unveil a new publication celebrating this milestone, and look ahead with excitement as we continue to empower #ECRs and amplify their impact on #science and society. #GYA15YearsYoung globalyoungacademy.net/wp-content/u...

GYA Co-Chair Sam Chan and alumnus Abi Veerakumarasivam spoke today at the Hong Kong Science Summit - Sam delivered the Keynote Speech, discussing the GYA and how it makes a positive impact globally, and Abi discussed the ASEAN Young Scientists Network, as well as GloSYS ASEAN.
