Meet the volunteers behind EYEN
We are made up of young professionals and entrepreneurs who dedicate some of their time to building and strengthening the network of networks.
Core Team
Our core team is responsible for the day-to-day decisions, the coordination and management of the organization. We cooperate with relevant stakeholders while preparing and implementing the long-term strategy of the network.

We organize ourselves in five separate working groups: Governance & Foundation Statute, Membership & Partnership, Communication & Marketing, Funding and the Knowledge Hub.
Governance & Foundation Statute
We are responsible for the construction and discussion of the structure, right, dues and functioning of the network. We are in charge for the creation of the EYEN statutes and by-laws but also for the conception of how the different bodies that constitute the organization work with each other, nomination, elections and their functions.

Membership & Partnership
We are the bridges of EYEN. On one hand, we connect youth organizations with governmental, industry and third-sector bodies in the energy field. To do so, we will look for members and partners and make sure they benefit from being part of our network. On the other hand, we connect individuals with established youth organizations and their ongoing activities. For example, we will redirect individuals willing to be active in the energy landscape towards their best match within our members, expanding their membership. This will all happen on both an European and national levels.

Communication & Marketing
We are the interlink between you and the European Youth Energy Network. Given that, we develop EYEN’s character and presence, to promote our activities and offer you content, events or workshops. We are realizing this by creating our website as your single stop market for correct and updated information, content and direct links to your most valuable potential partners, so that we can empower you to become yourself the voice of the energy transition and foster discussions and debates.

Funding
We are the people working for EYEN to have the financial resources it needs to function. We search for and apply to different scholarships and funding programmes, as well as establish contact with potential sponsors.

Knowledge Hub
The Knowledge Hub is the grid that empowers EYEN and provides the latest information on events and resources for your energy transition journey. Explore the Knowledge Hub (coming soon!) and you will be able to find out about upcoming energy-related events and funding opportunities as well as develop your understanding of energy-related topics and access a wealth of learning resources.

Advisors
The EYEN Advisory board is made of people who have already contributed in youth engagement sectors either at local, national or european level. We support EYEN with our knowledge, experience, network and perspective. The advisors help in specific projects when needed, and bring best practices from other organizations and past experiences. We act as reality checkers for EYEN initiatives and also share opportunities from the business and institutional worlds with the network.
