Have you considered putting your academic theory to practice in real-world settings? It’s a great idea for many reasons: you’re engaging in new learning opportunities and building your employability too! One such opportunity we are sharing today is from the European Student Thinktank, the largest youth-represented policy thinktank in Europe.  Their new policy memo competition, the European Policy Prize 2021, invites students and recent graduates to submit entries now!
