The Europaeum is delighted to announce that the new round of our Future Leaders of Europe: Europaeum Scholars’ Programme is now open for applications. This two-year, policy-oriented, professional development programme offers a unique opportunity to be part of a network of some of the brightest people of your generation.

In seven one-week modules, running from July 2026 to October 2027, the Scholars will engage with key challenges facing Europe today. They design, develop and deliver their own policy-related projects in small groups. The programme is multi-locational and multi-institutional.

We invite applications from Doctoral students enrolled at Europaeum member universities, who are highly motivated and well-organised, and have a strong academic track record, as well as interest connecting the lessons of academic research with the public arena. For full eligibility criteria, please see our website.

Application deadline: Sunday 15 March 2026 at 23.59 hours GMT / 00.59 hours CET.
