From the Royal Irish Academy website https://www.ria.ie/young-academy-ireland:
The YAI consists of forty members (23 women; 17 men) from Ireland and Northern Ireland including researchers, academics, scientists, innovators, clinicians, economists, and professionals who have each made a significant contribution to their field and beyond their individual disciplines. Members represent a multi-disciplinary platform from the Life Sciences, Physical, Engineering, and Computer Sciences, Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences, Business and Technology.
The YAI aims to provide a “voice for change” and “empower talented, emerging leaders and future leaders” to “tackle important issues and challenges in society and promote meaningful change.”
