Vision & Mission
Our vision of the future:
A world where energy is more sustainable, accessible, and secure.
​
Our role in making it happen:
We build a stronger community of future energy leaders across disciplines and countries through online and in-person opportunities.
Why we do it:
We are certain that the only way to do it is together.
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!
