This project has been initiated by Prof. Radu Ionescu, RYA member pertaining to the Technological Development and Health/ Quality of Life research theme.
The RYA 2020 selection process was completed in July 2020, 2 months ahead of schedule. 18 applicants were admitted out of the 23 who applied this year. The success rate was thus around 80%. One candidate later declined due to his overloaded work schedule. There are thus 17 RYA members now. The list of the admitted applicants and that of the selection committee members can be found here: https://rya.org.ro/selected-applicants-and-statistics-2020
On the 15th of April 2020, we launched the Romanian Young Academy call for applications. The RYA is addressed to early career researchers within 7 years from the bestowal of their (first) PhD. The closing date for the acceptance of applications will be the 31st of May 2020. Details on this CfA and the application process can be found at the web address: https://rya.org.ro/call-for-applications-2020
On the 3rd of April 2020, Dr Diana Stanciu, the initiator, fundraiser and director of the Romanian Young Academy, received the Humboldt Alumni Award 2020 for innovative networking initiatives.
