We Welcome our New AGYA Members 2017

11 excellent scholars have been selected following a public call for membership. As AGYA members they will have the unique opportunity to take an active part in the life of the Young Academy that supports them to implement their own ideas, visions and projects in the framework of Arab-German research cooperation.
