In conjunction with the 12th ASEM Foreign Ministers’ Meeting (ASEM FFM12), ASEF will organise the ASEF Young Leaders Summit (#ASEFYLS) on the topic of “Entrepreneurship and Youth Employment” from 1-5 November 2015 in Luxembourg. Hosted by the University of Luxembourg and the European Investment Bank, ASEFYLS is for young thinkers and doers between the ages of 18-30 from 51 ASEM member countries. The participants will question and explore how the entrepreneurial vein can trigger and nourish job-creation, mobility and social cohesion in Asia and Europe. Constructive dialogue, hands-on skills development and a Call for Action addressed to the ASEM Foreign Ministers are the core elements of this collaborative and highly intercultural Programme. The Summit closes with a joint reception for the ASEM Foreign Ministers, their delegations as well as the Young Leaders Summit participants at the EIB.
ASEF has just launched the Open Call for Application and warmly invites your students from all academic disciplines to apply. The deadline for application is 20 September 2015. I would highly appreciate if your office could kindly share our Open Call with relevant university networks and, if possible, post it on the university’s website.
The organisers will cover accommodation, meals and provide a travel subsidy for the selected participants.
