European Marine Board (EMB) seeks Young Ambassadors
The European Marine Board (EMB), a pan-European think tank working at the interface of marine science and policy, of which FCT is a member, has an ongoing Young Ambassadors Program, composed of four ambassadors from EMB member organizations. In this context, it has recently opened a Call for the recruitment of two new EMB Young Ambassadors, whose applications run until February 26, 2023.
They are scheduled to start in April 2023 and the term of office will be for two years, ending in spring 2025, after which the Ambassadors will join the Alumni Young Ambassadors program.
To fulfill the position, ambassadors receive a stipend of 2,000 euros spread over the two years of the program and an additional budget of up to 3,000 euros to cover costs related to events, travel, and communications.
Through this programme, EMB Youth Ambassadors work with the EMB Secretariat to help promote marine science (natural and social) and ocean-related themes, as well as other EMB activities in particular, among peers. Ambassadors gain access to and knowledge about the European marine science and oceans policy landscape, while the EMB gains valuable information and the ability to reach new audiences in other formats.
In parallel to this Call for Ambassadors, a call for Ambassador Mentors is also open (more information with the EMB Secretariat by sending an email to info@marineboard.eu with the subject: Call for Ambassadors mentors).
