Each year our faculty appoints five students to represent FASoS at ‘EuroSim‘, an international EU simulation bringing together 200 students from various European and US universities. EuroSim 2017 will be held at Brockport College, Upstate New York, US from Thursday 30 March to Sunday 2 April 2017. The topic of negotiations is a draft legislative proposal on the creation of a European Energy Union. Apply by Monday 19 December, 12.00.
In the past years our students always did an excellent job, while at the same time it was a highly rewarding experience for them (read here a student reflection from 2016).
In 2017, this annual event is going to take place from Thursday March 30 to Sunday April 2, 2017 at Brockport College (Upstate New York / US). The 2017 topic of negotiations is a draft legislative proposal on the creation of a European Energy Union.
Representing FASoS at EuroSim 2017 – what does it entail, what is expected from you?
• Your job would be to represent FASoS during this simulation in the best manner possible; to be motivated, prepare and behave professionally. During the past few years, FASoS students did an excellent job during this simulation event, and we of course hope to be able to keep up this excellent tradition.
• Five students and one staff member will go to Brockport to represent FASoS during this four day simulation event. Accommodation, meals and registration costs will be covered by our faculty board. We should ensure that during our trip we miss as little educational activities as possible, but this activity will be exempted from the usual attendance rules.
• Please note: unfortunately, this year we are not able to cover the expenses for flights to New York. By applying to represent FASoS you agree to ensure that you are able to cover the flight costs yourself.
• In preparation for our roles during the simulation event, we will have various preparatory meetings during January and February.
How to apply
* Send a motivation letter (max 500 words in total), including max 250 words words outlining why you would be the best candidate to represent FASoS in these negotiations and 250 words why you are the best candidate to become an expert on EU energy union.
