Role Description

As an Ambassador, you will acquire first-hand experience working within an international organisation and think tank, and you will become involved in the European policy-making process.

• writing (academic) papers, opinion pieces and blogs, and undertaking interviews and making vlogs;
• organizing events on today’s important political issues (e.g. trips to EU institutions or other institutions; discussions; collaborative working groups and publishing reports);
• contributing to Common Articles relating to current EST-campaigns;
• promoting EST (e.g. via Social Media) in your country and at your university or government, and building a national network of enthusiastic student contributors and professors;
• updating the EST International Officers on the activities you are organizing and submitting reports on this each month;

As the EST is a young organisation, there is also plenty of room for your own ideas and initiatives!
