Secretary-General's message to the Global Young Academy General Meeting and International Conference of Young Scientists


Statements | António Guterres, Secretary-General


I extend my warm greetings to the Global Young Academy and the International Conference of Young Scientists.

As an institutional partner of our Scientific Advisory Board, the Global Young Academy plays a vital role in ensuring that science – and scientists – are an essential part of global decision-making.

Your gathering in Hyderabad is another example of the power of science to unite across borders, disciplines, and generations.  At a time when our world faces profound challenges – from the climate crisis, to raging conflict, to rising inequalities, to runaway technology without guardrails – your voices, research, and leadership are more vital than ever.

As early-career researchers, you are not only the future of science – you are its present. Your work is essential to advancing the Sustainable Development Goals and building a more peaceful, just, and sustainable world.

We are inspired by your innovative research and encouraged by your efforts towards a future of open and accessible science.

I look forward to further collaboration with the Global Young Academy and wish you the best of success for your Conference.
