Die Junge Akademie is the first academy for young academics and artists. It explores the potential and limits of interdisciplinary work and aims to start conversations between science, art and society, and to generate momentum in discussions on science policy. The Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities (BBAW) and the German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina are the supporting academies.
