The programme of YLF 2021 is focussing on issues connected to e-Governance, digitalisation, and renewable/ green energy. There are two main topics to be discussed in different formats during the forum: security challenges for e-Governance and green energy developments in the V4 region.
- The first panel discussion will put challenges and risks connected to e-Governance and digital security under scrutiny besides evaluating the available solutions and tools to tackle them. Do we have enough knowledge to deal with the current security risks in this field? How can individuals and governments increase their resilience against the various forms of threats? What type of new risks might emerge in the future and how can we prepare to address them?
- The second panel will feature experts giving some insight into renewable energy developments and planned future investments in the V4 region in addition to the most important goals of the European Union related to energy transition and renewable energy. What are the most important achievements of the V4 countries in this field? Which are the main targets of the V4 national strategies and planned renewable energy projects? How do these achievements and goals fit in the framework set by the EU objectives?
As YLF aims at improving the leadership potential of our selected participants, the programme also includes seminars, workshops, and face-to-face/small group consultations with an expert to help participants develop their leadership skills and gain more practical knowledge.
Interconnection with the think.BDPST 2021 conference
The programme of YLF is designed to allow young leaders to attend selected panels of the concurrently held think.BDPST conference. This kind of interconnection gives YLF participants the opportunity to meet prominent lecturers, decision-makers from the public policy, the business and the non-governmental sectors, as well as high profile politicians and diplomats; and to take an active part in discussions with them, and engage in the Q&A sessions of the debates.
