European Student Conference: Rethinking Transatlantic Cooperation | Yale University

CONFERENCE OVERVIEW

From 14-16 April 2023, exceptional undergraduate and graduate students from across the

United States, Europe, and the world, will gather at Yale University for the 7th edition of the

European Student Conference.'

The conference will draw together these young leaders and decision-makers from politics,

business, and academia to discuss new approaches to the critical challenges in transatlantic

affairs today.

In doing so, the conference will seek to empower a new generation of young transatlantic

leaders to face these challenges head on, and with the help of our guests and experts, begin to

think both freely and critically about where our world is going and what to do about it.

FORMAT

The conference will be structured around three activities:

Two Keynote Addresses

The conference will open and close with keynote addresses featuring two exceptional principals from politics and business. The addresses will seek to weave together the frames, foci, and theme of the conference into a forward-looking message for today’s emerging transatlantic leaders.

Three Panel Discussions

The focal topics of the conference will each be covered by one panel discussion that blends

perspectives across sectors and geographies. The panels will allow participants to interact directly and candidly with experts.

Three Workshops

Participants will work in groups to draft policy papers addressing key questions within the conference’s three areas of focus. Each area of focus will correspond to a workshop in which participants will benefit from the guidance and perspective of a topic expert. Groups will present their policy proposals at the conclusion of the conference.
