Engagement

Student Ambassador Force (SAF)

As an EMERGE Student Ambassador, you will automatically become a member of the Student Ambassador Force (SAF). This is a dynamic and innovative group made up of EMERGE students from across the partner universities who either have experience of mobility programmes or are interested in undertaking a mobility experience.

European University Student Ambassador Forum (EUSAF)

As an EMERGE Student Ambassador, you may be nominated to participate in the European University Student Ambassador Forum (EUSAF). This platform brings together students from European university alliances to share their views, experiences, and ideas regarding the present and future of higher education in Europe.

EUSAF holds annual in-person meetings in Warsaw, Poland. To attend, INN will nominate one EMERGE Student Ambassador, who will then take part in a selection process managed by SGH Warsaw School of Economics.

If selected, you will be expected to participate in two virtual meetings (one before and one after the in-person event) as well as one in-person meeting held in June or July in Warsaw, Poland. Travel expenses, accommodation, and meals during the trip and the in-person meetings will be covered.
