About EUSEW 2025 Young Ambassadors Program
Launched in 2023, the Young Energy Ambassadors Program highlights the European Commission’s commitment to involving the younger generation in conversations about a clean, competitive, and fair energy transition. The program aims to:

The program is open to all motivated young people involved in the energy sector—whether through studies, volunteering, professional work, or personal initiatives.
