Digitally engaged young people (from 18 to 34 years old, from the date EUSEW takes place), who are among Europe’s leading voices, passionate about building a sustainable, secure and clean energy future for Europe and the world. Young Energy Ambassadors are invited to help boost EUSEW’s messages within the youth energy community and among stakeholders, as well as advocate for this year’s theme ‘Net-zero energy solutions for a competitive Europe’. In return, young energy ambassadors benefit from the partnership and high-level visibility across official communication channels.
