During the months of June and July, ESTIEMers can apply to positions that are appointed by the Board, such as Committee Leader, Task Group Leader, Regional Coordinator and Department Coordinator. In order to apply for any of these positions, there will be two application rounds.
First Round: The application deadline is the 24th of June. To apply to any position, send a document before the 24th of June with your written motivation and past experiences. In addition to this, submit a Mandate Plan Overview with your goals for the year. This is only a reflection on what you want to achieve. Based on your reflections made in the Mandate Overview Plan, you will set the goals of your mandate together with your Board Responsible after your handover.

The 34th board recommends you to take a look at the Long Term Objectives (LTOs) of the 21-24 Strategy that are connected to the entity you are applying for and think if and how you want to implement them in your mandate and add them to your Mandate Plan Overview with a short reflection on how you will work on the LTO.
Please note that these are only suggestions on which entity should work with which LTO. If there is a LTO you think is applicable to the area of the entity you are applying for, feel free to include it in the Mandate Plan Overview. Likewise, if you disagree on a suggested LTO, do not add it to your Mandate Plan Overview. We only added the entities that we are open calling in this spreadsheet.
Second Round: In order to create more awareness of the vacant positions within the network, there will be two rounds of applications. This means that the second round will consist of all the positions that haven’t had a leader appointed yet. This way, declined applicants and other interested people still have the time to apply for the vacant position(s).
For this round the application deadline is the 10th of July. To apply to any position, send a document before the 10th with your written motivation and past experiences. In addition to this, submit a Mandate Plan Overview with your goals for the year. The process of application is similar to both rounds
Keep in mind that, regardless of the round in which you were appointed, the mandates for the aforementioned positions will start on August 1st, 2023, and conclude on August 1st, 2024.
