Die Junge Akademie welcomes ten new members as part of its celebration on 7 June 2025.

History of science, design, biochemistry or media art - the specialist backgrounds of the new members promise varied input for Die Junge Akademie. A committee consisting of members of Die Junge Akademie selected 25 applicants from a large number of applications submitted between the beginning of September and mid-November 2024. At the beginning of the year, they were given the opportunity to outline their motivation, new project ideas, the focus of their work and possible points of contact with existing Junge Akademie activities in selection interviews. Impressive personalities presented themselves.

We would now like to welcome ten of them to Die Junge Akademie!

  • Nicholas Güsken, Experimental Solid-State Physics, Paderborn University
  • Sarah Klosterkamp, Human Geography, Goethe University Frankfurt
