About Our Conference

The #YSC, our annual flagship conference, is a unique initiative that stands out for its participatory and innovative character.

The YSC aims at connecting young thinkers with policy experts and academic scholars in a critical and constructive dialogue about the future of European foreign and security policy.

Through the participation on panels and workshops, the submission of policy papers via our fellowship, and a wide range of creative exchanges, the conference provides a perfect environment for sharing and discussing new ideas, such as Franco-German relations and the EU’s strategic autonomy.
