The 2022 YAE annual general meeting (AGM) spans across Tuesday 25th October from 14:00 to 17:30, and Wednesday 26th October from 09:30 to 12:00. It will be held at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Mar Campus - Building 61 on this map: https://www.upf.edu/en/web/campus/campus-mar
We have put together an outstanding programme that includes renowned invited guests, research talks by recently admitted members, and opportunities for brainstorming and exchange. This includes a dedicated Science Communication Lab with expert guest speakers Profs. David Budtz-Pedersen and Rolf Hvidtfeldt.
Registration to the full YAE AGM event is €130 – this includes access to all the AGM sessions on the 25th and 26th October, plus the YAE 10th anniversary dinner on Tuesday 25th. You will pay for your 'ticket' here on Eventbrite, after which Eventbrite will provide you with confirmation of your order. We understand that this order confirmation may not provide sufficient information for some of your institutions. If this is the case, please email Activity Chair Scott Bremer (Scott.bremer@uib.no) to request a more detailed invoice. When you contact Scott, provide your institution's full name and address, and VAT number.
Please note that the exact room where the AGM will be convened is being finalised, and as soon as this information is available it will be updated on the website and emailed around to registered participants. This will include detailed instructions on how to get there. There will also be some workshops held during this AGM, so closer to the time attendees will be advised on things it is recommended they bring.In planning your trip you may want to consult the Academia Europaea’s Building Bridges website for accommodation options: http://www.buildingbridges-acadeuro.org/accommodation/
While registration is separate, the joint Academia Europaea / YAE meeting – Building Bridges 2022 – will go ahead immediately after our AGM, next door at the fabulous Parc de Recerca Biomedica de Barcelona. The programme includes excellent sessions including the Balzan lectures, the AE Gold Medal lecture, and two YAE-led sessions: a debate titled “Towards an inclusive and representative academic landscape” on Wednesday 26th, and the 2022 André Mischke YAE Prize lecture by this year’s awardee Dr. Gergely Toldi on Thursday 27st. We wholeheartedly encourage you to not miss these sessions!
Please contact your YAE board members if you have any questions about the AGM.
