Audi Environmental Foundation Grants for One Young World Summit in Netherlands

Are you eager to join an international discussion of issues like sustainability and the environment? Would you like to build an international network and gain insight into how other people think?

Audi and its Environmental Foundation are therefore collaborating with One Young World to offer scholarships to 15 inspiring young leaders to attend this year’s One Young World Summit in The Hague, Netherlands. One Young World is an annual Summit where the most valuable young talent from global and national companies, NGOs, universities and other forward-thinking organisations are joined by world leaders, acting as the One Young World Counsellors. At the Summit, delegates debate, formulate and share innovative solutions for the pressing issues the world faces.

After each Summit, the delegates, who are then known as One Young World Ambassadors, work on their own initiatives or lend the power of the One Young World network to those initiatives already in existence. Of those in employment, many return to their companies and set about creating change from within, energising their corporate environment.

Selection criteria:
[1] Candidates must be aged between 18 and 30 at the time of 2018 Summit
