Sri Lankan Academy of Young Scientists is an Academy of early career scientists, whose membership draws from all disciplines. We aim to include scientists based in Sri Lanka for inclusive representation by gender and scientific disciplines. In today’s world, science must address global issues and increasingly complex problems. Such challenges often benefit from scientists with different background

s and areas of expertise. Early career scientists are best positioned to innovate solutions to such challenges. Bringing together multidisciplinary, early career scientists creates new opportunities for more effective results. Thus we have establishedan organization that will be guided by the following principles:
1. Independent
The over-arching aim of this Academy is to foster early career independence for young scientists. In addition, the Academy operates independently from governments, other academies, funding sources, and businesses. Science-based
As scientists, we expect solutions to society’s problems to be evidence-based. We seek to contribute innovation and science-based policy ideas to the debates of concern to young scientists and the wider community. The term science here refers to inquiry-based-knowledge-generation research including natural-, physical-, social sciences, arts and humanities.
3. Excellence
Our members are selected based upon a proven track record for outstanding contributions to science and their commitment to public service. We strive for the highest quality in our activities.
4. Impact
To be effective, we focus upon activities of concern to young scientists, specifically issues at the science-society interface such as scientific communication, education and public policy.
