European Youth Energy Forum 2026
Join us in Nice from 26 to 29 October 2026 for the 5th European Youth Energy Forum!
EYEF brings together students, young professionals, and researchers from across Europe and the Mediterranean to exchange ideas and shape solutions for the energy transition.
EYEF 2026 is organised by a dedicated group of passionate and driven volunteers. Young professionals of the European Youth Energy Network across Europe work tirelessly to make the Forum a reality. Their commitment, creativity and teamwork ensure that EYEF is not just an event but a platform where youth voices shape the future of the energy industry.
How does it work?
Each year, a group of motivated young individuals is selected to participate in a series of weekly online sessions over the course of three months. These sessions lead up to a final live (in-person) event, where participants present the outcomes of their work
Phase 1 – Online Sessions
During the online phase, participants engage in research, discussion, and drafting of a position paper aimed at strengthening youth involvement in the energy transition—at the European, national, and local levels; across public and private sectors; and within education systems. The exact focus of the work depends on the annual theme and may involve developing new policy proposals or enhancing existing ones. Learn more about the online sessions here.
Phase 2 – Live Event
The live event is a four-day, in-person gathering that brings together participants for an engaging and collaborative experience. It features a diverse programme including panel discussions and learning sessions with energy experts and young leaders as well as focused working sessions exclusive to the selected participants. These activities offer valuable insights that help participants refine and strengthen their proposals, while fostering dialogue between youth and key energy stakeholders.
