Bringing voices of the youth forward

Following the tradition of the previous publications, the aim of the upcoming report is to share the opinions but also tangible youth initiatives of European young professionals about current sector disruptions.

By sharing our results with leading players within the European energy sector, we are able to display how the youth already shapes the future of the energy sector with a fresh view, commitment to tackle big hurdles and an innovative spirit.
