Selection process and assessment criteria
The selection will be conducted jointly by the ESA Selection Committee and the European University Alliances. The ESA Steering Committee will share the list of eligible students with EUAs’ officers, who will conduct the assessment of their own students. The ESA Selection Committee will gather the results of the rankings. At that point, slight changes may intervene in the list of selected students to ensure the highest diversity of profiles. Final results will be shared with the alliances before being communicated to the students
The selection criteria have been designed to ensure a fair, inclusive and transparent process. The criteria for the selection of participants lay the stress on the students’ interest for European politics, culture and society, on their motivation to participate in an intercultural event, to defend their opinion and have an impact on their community, as well as their level of excellence. The criteria for the selection of panel coordinators focus on the candidates’ motivation and former experiences as group leaders in similar initiatives.
What’s next?
The selection process has begun. The alliances will give their student’s ranking at the latest on 15 February 2023.
The results of the Panel Participants’ selection will be on 27 February 2023.
Before that, the results of the Panel Coordinators’ selection will be on 16 January 2023.
