Current work

The Young Academy of Scotland initiatives hav ranged from policy advice on Brexit,[2][3] to promoting diversity multiculturalism in Scotland,[4][5] enhancing inclusion in the workforce,[6][7] undertaking outreach in local schools to engage young people in science and developing educational resources such as YouTube videos to improve numerical literacy.[8]

In 2019, the Academy started the Mosul Bookbridge Project to help the University of Mosul in Iraq rebuild its library, which was destroyed during the ISIS insurgency in 2014.[9][10]
