One Young World and Maastricht University: Leadership for a better tomorrow
Maastricht University is proudly announcing an opening for a delegate position for an inspiring young Maastricht University leader for this year’s One Young World Summit (The Hague, 17-20 October 2018)

Becoming a One Young World delegate allows you to participate in the summit and to become part of the One Young World Ambassador community that today includes more than 9,000 young leaders in business, NGOs, government, and academia.
