Romy van der Lee (VU) and Bert Bakker (UvA) have been appointed as co-chairs of the board of the Amsterdam Young Academy (AYA) by the General Assembly. With the chair being fulfilled by two board members, the VU and the UvA will be better represented and links between the universities will be strengthened.

Four young academics from VU Amsterdam, five from the University of Amsterdam and one from Amsterdam UMC were appointed to AYA. See who they are!

Bregje van Groningen, Diletta Martinella and Floris Vermeulen are the first winners of AYA's first Recognition & Rewards Awards.

With this evaluation, AYA would like to present what has been achieved over the last four years since the installment on 6 November 2018.

This award is aimed at academic staff at UvA and VU whose exceptional contributions to the academy are often overlooked, but nevertheless are essential for a healthy university.
