European Student Conference at Yale

Posted by Admin On 11:53:00 AM
With funding from the European Commission, students of Yale University are organizing a conference that will develop visions for the future of the European Union and the relationship with the United States. The “European Student Conference” in February 2015 will host some of the most innovative European policy-makers and distinguished professors to discuss students’ ideas for the European Union. The conference is the basis for a student think-tank that will be a contact point and support mechanism for students in the United States, enabling them to transform their motivation into concrete action for the benefit of the
European Union.

We are confident that students from Georgia Tech can greatly contribute to this initiative, and we would be honored to have your students participate at the European Student Conference 2015. 


Please note that first-round application deadline is October 27.

More on the Conference:From February 13 to February 14, 2015, eighty undergraduate and graduate students from US universities will gather at the Yale School of Management to discuss the future of the European Union. There will be five workshops: borders (focused on immigration in the 
Mediterranean), the transatlantic relationship (focused on the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership), innovative economy (focused on youth unemployment), democratic participation (focused on the rise of far-right extremism) and identity (focused on social solidarity in Europe). In each workshop, students will develop their visions and strategies together with an EU policy-maker and a distinguished professor with a background in EU studies. At the end of the conference students will present their conclusions to a representative from the European Commission. Furthermore, participants will create a US-based student think tank, through which they will dedicate their creativity, ingenuity and time to build the future of the European Union. 

Applications are due on October 27 (both undergraduates and graduates) and December 1 (only undergraduates, 2nd round). Please download the application form and apply at
www.escatyale.com. Feel free to address any questions to info@escatyale.com. Travel costs, food, and accommodation are covered by the conference thanks to the generous support of the European Commission under the Erasmus + programme.
