The European Student Think Tank (abbreviated EST) is an international non-government organisation established in 2010 dedicated to involving young Europeans in the European policy-making process. It functions as an online journal of international affairs and annually publishes an academic journal, "The European Policy Review".[1]
History
[edit]The European Student Think Tank won the 2011 European Charlemagne Youth Prize,[2] awarded by the European Parliament, and has since then expanded to host a network of ambassadors in Council of Europe member states.
Activities
[edit]The European Student Think Tank currently hosts debates across EU institutions in which young people engage with policy-makers, such as debates in the European Parliament on gender equality and youth participation in European Politics in 2016.[3] Members of the European Parliament and representatives of the European Commission as well as academics participated. European Student Think Tank President Carlota Nunez Strutt was a panelist in the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats Europe Together conference, together with European Parliament President Martin Schulz and vice-president of the European Commission Federica Mogherini.[4] At the European Youth Event 2021, EST hosted a crash course on the European Green Deal.[5]
