Application Deadline: 3 March 2024
The EUSEW Young Energy Ambassadors initiative aims to strengthen the connection between the European Sustainable Energy Week (EUSEW) and young individuals, fostering their interest and involvement in the sustainable energy sector.
The Young Energy Ambassadors is a group of young professionals (aged 18 to 34 years old at the time of EUSEW) who represent EUSEW’s young audience and act as multipliers of the event campaign. The group is formed by 30 young people around Europe, from different sectors/career stages (studies, employment, personal engagement, etc.). The selection process prioritises diversity in terms of gender, age, profession, and nationality.
As a member of the selected group, you will be involved in the activities of the European Youth Energy Day (EYED) that will take place in Brussels during the event. Your presence onsite is expected from 11 to 13 June 2024, and the EUSEW organising team will cover your travel expenses and accomodation. The Ambassadorship programme will run from April 2024 to June 2025.
