Thursday, July 16th, 13:30 – 590 applications received and still counting! In its fourth edition, the Economic Forum of Young Leaders established a new record of applications. You can still submit yours until Friday, July 17th on forum-leaders.eu!
“The record breaking number of submitted application forms might be a result of the online application process we launched this year”, explains Michał Wójcik, Chief Program Director of the event.
An application form implemented in the Forum's website www.forum-leaders.eu allows every young leader from Armenia to Portugal to submit his application in less than an hour. In the last year's edition, the participants applied by sending a traditional email.
„This year, we explored new ways of promoting the Forum on the internet by using community networks such as Facebook, Twitter, XING and the Polish portal nasza klasa. This multiplied our impact considerably”, adds Daniel Stelmasiewicz, Coordinator of the Economic Forum.
