European Academies Prize awarded to Helen Keller

On 5 June 2026, the CosmoVision project group of the Young Academy will host an event at the Cinematte in Bern to mark the publication of an anthology produced as part of the project, which contains numerous contributions from a wide range of countries. The project invites you to an evening of knowledge exchange, where art and science not only meet but also engage in dialogue, improvise and create something new together. This book is the result of a transdisciplinary journey that weaves together artistic practice, collaborative research and decolonial ethics to explore how different forms of knowledge can coexist, resonate with one another and transform each other.

The yearly literature recommendations by the community, the Tour d'Horizon, and our literature analysis have been published.

The Swiss Young Academy (SYA) inducts six new members during its spring Members’ Assembly meeting. This admission follows a selection process during which the early career researchers proved their worth through outstanding scientific achievements, innovative ideas for developing the scientific system, and great interest in and dedication to the interface between science and society. In the next five years, together with existing members, the newly elected researchers will promote inter- and transdisciplinary initiatives and shape the Academy’s activities.
