Young Researchers’ Network Initiative

About Young Researchers’ Network Initiative 2023

The European Partnership for Democracy (EPD) welcomes proposals for the Young Researchers’ Network initiative in the framework of the European Democracy Hub with the support of EPD’s Women and Youth in Democracy (WYDE) programme, supported by the European Union.

Making young people’s voices heard is necessary to make democratic systems sustainable and representative of all generations. To further understand youth issues with nuance and complexity, it is important to position young people as the best suited for political research participation as it most affects themselves and their peers.

Program Details

The initiative will result in the publication of 12 case studies (3000 words each) written by young researchers, to be collated into a flagship report on global youth political participation. The report will highlight policy implications and give recommendations for international development donors, as well as youth policy decision-makers on improving youth participation through national and international policies.

COMPENSATION

Successful candidates will receive EUR 10.000,00 to support their part-time research on a country-specific case study and ad-hoc research assistance for the Young Researchers’ Network initiative over the three-year duration of the initiative. Members of the Young Researchers’ Network will be based remotely and will be invited to Brussels to present their research in 2024 and 2025.

Eligibility

  • PhD students,  early-career academics and young professionals studying or working in an area related to youth in the field of development studies or democracy studies,
  • Candidates should be currently undertaking or have been awarded a PhD or master’s degree from an internationally recognised university within the last three years.
  • EPD will aim to have representation from all major world regions in the network and will take this into account when considering applications.
