Our flagship conference at Yale University

About the European Student Conference

ESC is our flagship event at Yale University that brings together students and young professionals from across the United States, Europe, and all over the world to discuss key challenges in transatlantic affairs. The aim of the conference is for these young leaders to face these challenges head on by engaging in critical thinking and enriching discussion and debate.

David O’Sullivan, then EU Ambassador to the US, explains the enduring value of ESC.

The student participants are joined at ESC by dignitaries from politics, diplomacy, business, academia, and the media, who share their knowledge and expertise with the students in workshops and panel discussions.

Throughout the conference, the students craft policy papers that contain policy visions and strategies, which shed new light on the key challenges at the heart of the conference.
