Based on an interdisciplinary dialogue of young researchers, the aim is to facilitate the social appropriation of science, acquire new scientific strategies, and look for collaborations to generate projects and support new approaches to solving problems of national and international importance. The Young Academy aims to complement the Colonmbian Academy’s action spaces to support its missionary work.
Since 2022, the Young Academy has been part of the International Science Council (https://council.science/es/current/blog/isc-welcomes-young-academies/) and is part of the network of young academies promoted by Global Young Academy (https://globalyoungacademy.net/) since 2023.
