Fostering the next generation of scientists in the developing world is one of the strategic priorities of TWAS. In 2016, TWAS launched the 'TWAS Young Affiliates Network' to recognize the most accomplished young scientists in various regions of the developing world. Each year, TWAS, in collaboration with five TWAS Regional Offices, selects up to 25 outstanding young scientists under the age of 40 as TWAS Young Affiliates, for a period of six years. After six years, they become Alumni. To date, there are more than 400 TWAS Young Affiliates and Young Alumni from 82 countries.
