YOUTH FOR VEF

The Vienna Energy Forum 2021 will feature the first-ever Youth Forum (Youth for VEF), hosted in partnership with the SDG7 Youth Constituency. The goals and format of the event were determined through an open co-creation process, seeking inputs from young researchers, professionals, entrepreneurs, activists, and other youth in the sustainable energy sector.

The sessions will be divided into three main categories: Plenary, Networking and Skills Academy. The Plenary Section will provide a space for contact between ministers, experts and youth representatives to discuss issues related to Future-Proof Skills and Enabling Environments in the energy space. The Networking Segment will allow for interactive, informal discussions between experts and attendees. Finally, the Skills Academy will be a learning experience, where attendees will receive practical guidelines and tips, and learn from the experiences of other representatives in the sector.
