We are very pleased to announce that YEP Programmes is continuing: Phase III (2026–2032) is launching on 1 January 2026! This new phase builds on the strong results of previous years and marks an exciting next step in our shared ambition to support young talent and accelerate innovation and impact through international collaboration.
Phase III invites organisations to submit an application for a YEP position on their project related to Water and Food Security and become part of the YEP Global Network. It also offers opportunities for young professionals to apply for YEP positions, gaining valuable international experience while contributing to meaningful change.
Important updates:
- The call for project proposals for YEP positions by organisations is now open. First deadline: 15 February 2026.
- Information sessions will be held early in 2026:
- For organisations: 7 January and 8 January
- For candidates: 12 February
