About the HYPE network
HYPE (Hartman Young Professionals for Europe) is a network for young policymakers, researchers, and advisors in the (semi-)public sector whose work involves the EU. Through training sessions, study visits, and networking activities, HYPE helps its members gain a better understanding of European policy processes and work more effectively within them.
Bridging theory and practice
At European Impact, we see every day how essential it is to learn from hands-on experience. Through our research and networking activities, we support organisations and individuals who play a role in the European sphere. This aligns closely with HYPE’s mission: to give young talents the opportunity to gain experience, connect directly with policymakers, and learn how to make an impact within their own organisations.
Gijs’ vision as Chair
With his chairmanship, Gijs wants to take participants into the multifaceted and dynamic working field of the EU professional. To do so, he will use his experience as a researcher of European Impact and make use of the lectureship's broad network. In this way, the HYPE network and European Impact remain grounded in practice.
