EUSEA Ambassadors

As part of EUSEA’s ongoing efforts to strengthen connections across our European network, we are launching a new initiative: the EUSEA Ambassador Programme. The programme aims to bring science engagement professionals closer together, connecting members within their countries, sparking collaborations, and making EUSEA more visible in local and regional debates.

Before the full launch in May 2026, we are running a pilot phase with a small, diverse group of Ambassadors who will help shape and refine the programme.

Objectives of the Pilot

  • Test the Ambassador role and refine its responsibilities and benefits.
  • Build a small, committed peer group of Ambassadors to co-create the programme identity.
  • Strengthen local and regional connections within the EUSEA network.
  • Generate testimonials and lessons learned to inform the public launch
