Over the next few years the Academia will consolidate its newly established local Knowledge Hubs.

The Academia has initiated a close cooperation with the newly founded Young Academy of Europe (http://yacadeuro.org). To begin with this academy organizes young ERC grant holders, but will also include young  European top researchers across all disciplines.
