During their tenure, Affiliates are invited to participate in TWAS general meetings and conferences.
This program, which began in 2007, seeks to identify the best young scientists in each region of the developing world and provide them with opportunities to network with one another, and with TWAS Fellows, as well as attend international conferences and other events for young scientists.
The appointments are made for a period of five years (covering five TWAS General Meetings).
TWAS Young Affiliates:
· Will be invited to attend all TWAS General Meetings and General Conferences;

· Are encouraged to provide feedback to TWAS on how the Academy can respond
to the needs of young scientists in developing countries;
· Are encouraged to provide information about TWAS programs to their
students and colleagues;
· Are encouraged to seek out and nominate excellent scientists from developing
countries, especially science-and technology-lagging countries, for TWAS
awards;
· Are encouraged to seek out excellent scientists from science-and-technology-lagging countries and recommend their nomination for TWAS membership (via a full member of the Academy).
