Being sensitive to inequalities from an early age, Charles Gottlieb quickly took an interest in macroeconomics. Currently a professor at the Aix-Marseille School of Economics (F), he studies the obstacles that slow down economic development in low-income countries. In addition to his research and teaching, he has been involved with the Swiss Young Academy (SYA) since its early days.
In collaboration with researchers from UZH, our "Fake News" project group has interviewed numerous experts on combating fake news / conspiracy theories and published recommendations for action on this basis.
The leaky pipeline in STEM; challenges faced by early career researchers in interacting with media; the promotion of innovative teaching formats at the interface between science and society; artificial intelligence in education and health - these are the topics our four new project groups will be focusing on in 2024.
Are you looking for a challenging and exciting position at the interface between science and society? We are looking for project assistants for our projects.
Sharing knowledge, meeting stimulating people and using interfaces.
The core tasks of the Swiss Young Academy includes not only representing young researchers and promoting the science- and social-policy discourse, but also implementing inter- and transdisciplinary projects at the interface between science and society. For this purpose, each member has access to funding, which makes possible joint projects in groups of up to 6 people.
How can innovative teaching formats at the interface between science and society be promoted, disseminated and qualitatively improved in the Swiss higher education system?
What challenges do early career academics face as they navigate the media? What measures and strategies can be helpful in tackling these challenges?
Why do more women leave the academic world after earning a doctorate than men?
Where is artificial intelligence being used in education and healthcare – and what role can the Swiss Young Academy play in this development?
What is science and what is activism? Where does one end and the other begin? Why is it necessary that we keep these two worlds apart and is that even possible?
How can we increase the capacity, visibility, and impact of early-career researchers in science policy and science diplomacy?
What innovative best practices regarding academic employment and career development can be identified and shared to create pathways for structural change?
How can members of the SYA foster inter- and trans-disciplinary collaborations in order to contribute to societal challenges?
