Our History
YES - Europe grew out of an initiative at EPFL (Switzerland) that brought together 50 students from 9 European countries in May 2016 for the first Annual Conference to find ways to make a difference. Since, then two more Annual Conferences have taken place in Berlin and Madrid, attracting 80 students from 12 countries.
​
The YES-Europe leadership team (see below) has been working to develop a strong organization with a nuanced business model.

Connect with us to define the future together!
