The Finnish Business and Policy Forum EVA is looking for young and
talented students, researchers and young professionals to participate in
the EVA Junior Fellows Network. Junior Fellows operate in fields related to EVA's interests such as business, economics, social sciences and international
relations. Approximately half of the Junior Fellows are international
Finns who study or have just graduated from abroad while the second half
consists of talented foreigners who have a special interest in Finland.
The Junior Fellows program aims to maintain and enhance the relationship
between Junior Fellows and Finnish society. Main event is the annual autumn
meeting in Helsinki which is a two/three-day seminar for international EVA
Junior Fellows where the Junior Fellows have a possibility to exchange ideas with Finnish business leaders and experts from different sectors. Co-operation between EVA and its Junior Fellows, however, continues also after the meeting. EVA encourages Junior Fellows to write articles and in-depth analyses for EVA's website and occasionally, Junior Fellows contribute to EVA's publications. The international
Junior Fellows network provides a forum for bright young people to acquire contacts and to discuss with Finnish business, political, media and opinion leaders as well as among themselves.
The deadline for this year's applications is 15 February 2010. Applications received afterwards will be taken into account in next year's selection. Each year, 20 Junior Fellows are selected for a two-year term. EVA Junior Fellows Network does not provide scholarships but can assist in travel and accommodation costs during the annual meeting.
