The Centro Interdisciplinare Linceo Giovani (CILG) was established by the Accademia dei Lincei on 20 April 2023.
The CILG brings together the recipients of the Feltrinelli Giovani Prize, awarded to scholars under the age of forty who have achieved results of clear originality, autonomy and international relevance, thus contributing, also in the long term, to strengthening Italy's scientific role in the world. Its members, who number no more than sixty, come from different disciplines and can be part of the Centro for a period of six years, during which they undertake to promote research and the dissemination of knowledge.
The main purposes of the Centro are:
- to foster scientific cooperation between young scholars engaged in different fields of research, with particular attention to interdisciplinarity and constructive dialogue between different scientific methods and approaches;
- to promote initiatives in synergy with the scientific and cultural programme of the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei and its standing committees;
- to encourage the participation of young Italian researchers and academics in international networks, ensuring that Italy is represented in a dignified and equitable manner.
Since 2024, the Centro Interdisciplinare Linceo Giovani has been recognised as the Italian Young Academy and participates in several European and international networks, in particular ENYA (European National Young Academies) and YASAS (Young Academies Science Advice Structure). Through these participations it has gained important recognition at European and global level and has therefore started to collaborate with other Young Academies, in various forms.
The members of the CILG meet regularly, both in person and online, and at least twice a year in plenary assembly, to exchange views on their current research projects and to plan and implement joint projects and publications.
The CILG organises annual lecture series dedicated to the most important and current issues in the field of physical and moral sciences. These conferences bring together renowned scholars and aim to establish a fruitful and lively exchange between researchers of different backgrounds, fields of interest, ages, methods and origins. Annual seminars are also organised: these seminars are specifically dedicated to the presentation and discussion of ongoing research, so that members can strengthen their personal and scientific ties and submit the results of their investigations to the CILG. In this way, the CILG aims to initiate a fruitful dialogue between science, art and society, as well as to stimulate discussion on science policy.
