Each year a group of students represents FASoS at an international EU simulation ‘EuroSim’, which brings together 200 students from European and US universities.
In 2023, this event is hosted by The University of South Wales and takes place in Wales (UK) between 4 January and 7 January. The 2023 topic of negotiations will be the EU Green Deal, energy security and the EU Social Climate Fund.
Please read on for more information about how to apply.
In the past years, FASoS students always did an excellent job. In 2019 they came back with one and in 2020 with three out of five awards! Last year, one of our students also got an award, despite the simulation being held online. At the same time, it was a highly rewarding experience for them (see impressions from EuroSim participants here).
Team FASoS at EuroSim 2023: what does it entail, what is expected from you?
- The team is looking for motivated students with a professional attitude and who want to learn more about EU negotiations.
- Your job would be to represent FASoS during this simulation in the best manner possible; to be motivated, well-prepared, and to behave professionally.
