YAS engages internationally in several ways. We are part of networks for young academies and bodies providing policy advice to international politics, such as the EU and UNESCO. We also participate in forums where there are opportunities to discuss issues related to internationalisation, for example, with Swedish higher education institutions and research funders.

The academy has a standing preparation group for international activities where one or a couple of members are appointed each year as convener. The convener leads the work in the preparation group together with the secretary.
Alison Gerber is the convenor for 2024–2025.
The Young Academy of Sweden holds one of the academy meetings abroad every year. YAS is also part of several networks and has recurring collaborations, with, for example: the Swedish National Commission for UNESCO, the European National Young Academies ENYA, the Young Academy Science Advice Structure YASAS, the South African Swedish University Forum SASUF, Global Young Academy GYA and All European Academies ALLEA.
