Vacancies At The European Stu­dent Think Tank

The European Stu­dent Think Tank is estab­lish­ing a vast com­munity of stu­dents who are con­trib­ut­ing to a more elab­or­ate insight into the European Union.  The EST Net­work will con­sist of all those con­trib­ut­ing to the con­tent of their web­site, policy pro­pos­als, events and future projects.

They are working on facil­it­at­ing an online net­work for their members; reg­u­lar con­trib­ut­ors will receive a ‘pro­file page’ on which their fields of know­ledge, exper­i­ence and interests are pub­lished. Mem­bers of the EST Net­work will be able to look into each other’s inform­a­tion in order to find pre­vi­ous pro­jects of an author they find inter­est­ing or to work together on a piece.

The EST Net­work will become a vital part of the Think Tank as it is mov­ing to more advanced pro­jects of cre­at­ing policy ideas. In each step of the Think Tank’s pro­gress inter­dis­cip­lin­ary cooperation between stu­dents will be neces­sary. The Net­work func­tion of the web­site will help to mod­er­ate this process.

EST is currently expanding the EDITORIAL TEAM with

• Freelance Bloggers (text, audio, video): have your say on EU politics
• Editors: gain editorial skills
• Graphic designer: make it simple – a graphic says more than 1000 words
• Networker: build a network of EU politicians and experts around EST and you

About the positions and how to apply

Freelance bloggers (text, audio, video)

Do you shake your head about the latest decision in EU polit­ics? Are you itch­ing to tell the part of a story that was not told so far?

You have a lot of free­dom to organ­ize the con­tent of your writ­ing, audio or video file, as long as your topic relates to EU-policy.

How to get star­ted – just as easy as this:

Con­tact the Editor in Chief  bettina@studentthinktank.eu, tell about your topic and shortly out­line your idea and choice of medium. If your topic is of interest, you will be sent guid­lines – and you can become journ­al­ist­ic­ally act­ive. Please also attach your CV, telling about your aca­demic back­ground and pre­vi­ous rel­ev­ant experiences.
