As of 17 August, organisations can once again submit proposals for a Young Expert position through YEP Programmes. Proposal submissions for YEP batch 35 are open until 13 September 2026.
Submitting a proposal for a YEP position gives organisations working on international water and/or agrofood projects the opportunity to strengthen their activities by welcoming a motivated Young Expert. At the same time, organisations contribute to the professional development of a new generation of internationally oriented professionals.
Participating organisations benefit from professional training and coaching for their Young Expert, financial support, and access to the international YEP Global Network.
