ESC 2024 Recap: Day 3 ⭐️ The final day of the European Student Conference focused on presenting participant's policy pitches. These pitches, prepared in advance, were centered around three key policy areas: Energy & Environment, Transatlantic Security and Democratic Technology. After the policy pitches were presented to our jury and a fireside chat with Benedetta Berti, PhD, Head of Policy Planning in the Office of the Secretary General at NATO, we proceeded to the highlight of #ESC2024 - the awards ceremony! 🌱 In the Energy and Environment category, Isabel Matia Luezas, Aimé Mühlemann, Noemie Dott and Manon Ring received the best policy memo award for "Increasing Biodiversity in NATO Member States' National Military Training Areas," suggesting integrating biodiversity concerns into the NATO Environment Protection Working Group (EPWG). 🔐 For Transatlantic Security, Mihnea Turcitu, Dema Elya, Marvin Katsole and Björn Laurin Kühn addressed climate-induced migration. Their memo recommended concrete steps for defining climate refugees and mobilizing response mechanisms to improve clarity, preparedness and transatlantic coordination. 🤖 In the Democratic Technology category, Marion Cordebart, Scarlett Dezan and Alexandra Morosova won for their policy memo on US-EU collaboration on data protection standards for sharing AI biometric data at border controls. They recommended developing joint measures and definitions to create a common framework for data protection and enhance EU-US coordination. Other participants received awards for honorable mentions, including recognition for the best policy pitch and meaningful engagement in the policy workshops. Overall, the conference was a great success, filled with diverse insights and engaging discussions. We extend our gratitude to all the speakers, participants, and everyone else who contributed to the success of this event. Special thanks goes to our partners TEPSA - Trans European Policy Studies Association and Center for European Policy Analysis, who are publishing the winners of the Public Policy Consultation. 🚀

ESC 2024 Recap: Day 2 ⭐️ On day two of #ESC2024, we arrived at our second destination: The College of Europe 🏛️ Rector Federica Mogherini welcomed us with a speech emphasizing the crucial role of youth in transatlantic relations. Participants then engaged in two policy workshops: a crisis management simulation based on the 2008 Russo-Georgian war and a session on effectively pitching policy memos, as a preparation for the next day. The afternoon featured a panel reflecting on NATO's 75th anniversary, discussing the challenges the organization faces today with Dominik Jankowski, Alain De Neve and Soren Liborius. This was followed by a fireside chat with Elżbieta Bieńkowska, former Internal Market Commissioner and Deputy PM of Poland, centered around common market reforms, perspectives on the European defense industry and strategies for maintaining European competitiveness globally. The day concluded with an informal reception at De Halve Maan, providing a relaxed setting for participants to reflect on the day's insights. 💡 #ESC2024 #EuropeanStudentConference #Day2 #Recap

ESC 2024 Recap: Day 1 ⭐️ As we look back on the incredible #ESC2024, we would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who attended and spoke at this remarkable conference. It is because of their valuable contributions that this event was such a success! The first day began with a short walking tour around Brussels, the heart of European policy-making. Later, at the European Parliament, we had the opportunity to gain valuable insights into the Brussels bubble from Vicky Marissen, Gabrielle Mollier, Dylan Macchiarini Crosson and Lena Eisenreich. They gave us a better understanding of the inner workings of the Brussels bubble. Their stories of navigating the bubble and valuable advice on how to secure roles in European policymaking were appreciated by the entire audience. Afterwards, the Energy Fireside Chat with Christian Egenhofer and Nick Keramidas was a truly lively debate on the future of energy and environment in Europe, covering various topics including nuclear energy and the European Green Deal. #ESC2024 #EuropeanStudentConference #Day1 #Recap
