Outgoing Chair of the Young Academy of Europe, Katalin Solymosi summarizes in this personal FEBS blog post why she thinks 1) it is useful and important to attend science policy related conferences as early and mid career researchers, 2) why institutional or national support and funding should be available for everyone to attend for such events, 3) why even disciplinary conferences would benefit from such sessions. She summarizes the sessions organized by YAE at #ESOF2022 and #ESOF2024, discusses the fate of EuroScience, and provides examples and advertisement for two upcoming science policy related conferences: the #HamburgScienceSummit of the Körber-Stiftung and the World Science Forum 2024. YAE will be present at both. #WSF
One way to understand the impact of science policy on the resercher community, on research culture, and on the academic landscape, is to attend a science policy conference, and experience for yourself how dynamic, motivating, and effective they can be.
