TIRANA, April 8/ATA/ Today, there was organized the event of constitution of the Youth Academy as well as of handing over diplomas to the young academicians at the venues of the Academy of Sciences of Albania. Founded by a decision of the Leading Board in 2017, the Youth Academy of Albania is a very important factor in opening up for young researchers and setting a connection between the generations.
Chairman of the Academy of Sciences Skënder Gjinushi considered the Academy of Youth as a breath of fresh air that will help the Academy of Sciences in achieving its objectives, already under different conditions.
Today, there were also extended the diplomas to: Aulon Shabani (electrical engineering), Erald Sino (finance), Joniada Barjaba (sociology), Jonilda Llupa (chemistry), Claudio Peqini (physics), Ledia Vasjari (biology), Redion Luli (law) Resul Telaj (linguistics) ) and Romina Muka (informatics).
Thanks to its activity, the Youth Academy has become a member of the Global Young Academies and has established cooperation links with the ALLEA. The re-establishment of the Youth Academy of Albania is an obligation to the Law no. 53/2019 “On the Academy of Sciences in the Republic of Albania” and to its Statute to function according to the new legal framework.
Also, ALLEA has approved a “new Basic Charter” as a unifying regulation of the way of setting up and functioning of youth academies, which, with some adaptations, has been approved by the Academy of Sciences Assembly as its statute. Meanwhile, in respect of the age limit (up to 40 years old), only three of the founding members of the Youth Academy could continue their membership, not having the legal capacity to make decisions./p.s./
