The Young Academy of Sweden is a interdisciplinary academy for a selection of the most prominent, younger researchers in Sweden. Its operations rest on four pillars: internationalization, outreach, science policy, and transdisciplinarity. The Academy is an independent platform that provides younger researchers with a strong voice in the science policy debate and that promotes science and research, often focusing on children and young adults. In the Academy young researchers meet across institutional and disciplinary borders to discuss research and research related topics. The Young Academy of Sweden was formed at the initiative of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in 2011 and has about 35 members.

Akademipodden om kreativitet
När blir du kreativ? Småsnackssoffans betydelse. Vad har Nobelpristagare sagt om sin kreativitet? När blir kreativiteten hämmad? Kompletterande personligheter kan bli större än individerna var och en för sig. Sveriges unga akademi liknar middagarna vid University of Cambridge, UK, där forskare från vitt olika fält sitter sida vid sida. Medverkande: Christian Broberger, docent i neurovetenskap vid Karolinska institutet; Jenny Larsson, docent i baltiska språk vid Stockholms universitet; Mia Lindskog, forskare inom neurovetenskap vid Karolinska institutet och Emma Sparr, professor i fysikalisk kemi vid Lunds universitet. Tobias Degsell, kurator på Nobelmuseet leder podcasten som spelades in på Forskartorget, Bokmässan 2013.
