As organizers of the Economic Forum of Young Leaders, every year we make every effort to ensure that our event is at the highest substantive level, while taking care of your safety. This year's edition of the event takes place for everyone in a specific period. The goal we have chosen for this year's edition is your safety, therefore, bearing in mind the current situation, we decided to meet this year in a virtual reality, so that you can celebrate the 15th anniversary of the Economic Forum of Young Leaders with us and at the same time be able to show solidarity with your friends from around the world. At the same time, we hope that we will all meet in Nowy Sącz next year.
Registration takes place in two stages. In the first round, the applicant completes the registration form with basic information. In the next stage, the organizer sends a reply by e-mail. After completing the recruitment form, a virtual ticket authorizing you to participate in the online event will be sent to the e-mail address provided. After August 25, 2020, a virtual ticket will help the participant move to a platform specially created for an online event.
This year's edition, due to the fact that it is conducted in a virtual reality, is free of charge. As Organizers, we will not charge you. For us, the most important reward is your active participation during the Forum, thanks to which we will be able to create an amazing event together.
To participate in this year's edition of the Forum, all you need is a computer, tablet or your own mobile phone and the Internet connection with the latest version of Chrome browser installed.
Each year, the participants of the Forum are: leaders of non-governmental, social, economic, student organizations, youth political parties, employers 'and employees' associations, academics, young journalists and entrepreneurs who, just like you, want their voice to be heard among decision-makers of the young generation.
You don't need to be a leader or member of an NGO. You can be a leader of an informal student or social group, a youth worker, a young entrepreneur. As an institution, you can enter the name of your university or company. What matters to us is that you want to improve your life. Remember, acting locally, you have an impact on global actions!
The Forum is a place where young leaders from all over Europe meet to discuss its future, opportunities, threats and to share ideas on how to improve the current situation. During these meetings, young people have the opportunity to listen and ask questions to representatives of the scientific community, European politicians, CEOs, business people and meet people with similar interests from over 30 countries. Our goal is to create a platform for the exchange of views for young people.
Special guests and speakers of the Forum are Nobel laureates, presidents, prime ministers, ministers, EU commissioners, heads of companies, presidents of national banks, and eminent economists. This year's Forum Program includes discussion panels, lectures, business presentations, thematic workshops, an intercultural evening and round table meetings.
We create a place for talks and discussions between the leaders of the future and the leaders of the modern world. These talks concern important processes taking place on our continent and in the world as well as challenges faced by the young generation of politicians, economists, entrepreneurs and leaders of non-governmental organizations. The forum is also a place of debate on the future of the European Union and its relations with neighboring countries, as well as initiatives created by young people.
The organizers are: European Meeting Center – Nowy Staw Foundation and the Institute for Eastern Studies. The Economic Forum of Young Leaders is a partner event of the Economic Forum in Krynica.
The working language of the Forum is English. Panels and lectures are additionally translated into Polish.
