Event Co-Organizer:

The in-person event organized by the Permanent Representation of Greece (MEA), in collaboration with ALLILON and Greek interns in the EU, was concluded with great success.

Approximately 70 interns and students attended the event. During the first part, participants had the opportunity to attend presentations regarding career paths within the European Institutions, the Hellenic Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA), and the private sector in Brussels. This was followed by a speed mentoring session, where MFA diplomats and private sector professionals provided insights on European Institutions and Ministry-related careers.

We would like to thank the organizing team of the Permanent Representation and Mr. Ioannis Vrailas, Ambassador and Permanent Representative of Greece to the EU, for the excellent cooperation, as well as our exceptional speakers and mentors.
