EVA Junior Fellows

EVA Junior Fellows are young and talented students, researchers or young professionals. They operate in the 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 where 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. Discussion and exchange of views are an essential part of the network´s soul. EVA encourages Junior Fellows to write articles and in-depth analyses for EVA´s website and occasionally, Junior Fellows contribute to EVA´s publications. Thus, 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.

It is possible to apply for Junior Fellowship throughout the year. Each year, 20 Junior Fellows are selected for a two-year term.
