The Chicago Council on Global Affairs is now accepting applications for the Next Generation Delegation from students to participate in the Global Food Security Symposium 2017. Since 2013, the Next Generation Delegation program has provided an opportunity for promising students to engage in symposium discussions and to interact with business and policy leaders, civil society, and social entrepreneurs working on agriculture, food, and nutrition issues.

The 2017 symposium will offer key insights on how to leverage past successes, and invigorate future efforts, amidst an evolving global landscape. This unique window of opportunity is a chance to help shape the next decade of leadership on global food security. The symposium will be held on March 29-30, 2017, in Washington, DC.

  • Contribute to and participate in the event’s social media plans, and responsibilities as required;

Eligibility

  • Students must be at the graduate or advanced undergraduate (third or fourth year) level studying agricultural development, social entrepreneurship, entrepreneurship, or other food security related disciplines;
