For the international future to be peaceful, expertise and competent leadership are essential. Having been socialised truly European, and having gotten in touch with IR as a youth rapporteur to the EU, I am passionate about contributing to a stable and goal-oriented international order in the future. Enhancing my leadership and communication skills as well as my knowledge about international affairs and their conduct, be.boosted will be immensely valuable in my pursuit of this goal. I am excited to be challenged and to embark on this journey of personal development together with my enormously inspiring and driven peers.

It is always about the people.
Whether you try to convince them of your idea, encourage them to become the best version of themselves or negotiate a deal with them – you need them on your side.
To become a more people-captivating person is the reason I set out on my journey with be.boosted -  because I cannot think of a better way to improve than surrounding myself with like-minded, talented fellows. I am thrilled to join be.boosted to learn from everyone and be inspired by their thoughts, insights and knowledge. Only when we empower each other, we can shape a better future.

Merete Looft

I am a student of the Erasmus Mundus master’s program in Public Policy in The Hague and Barcelona. I am focusing on the topics “economic policies and development” and these are precisely the fields I am passionate about. When dealing with “development” from the perspective of the Global North, for me, it always comes down to the question of how we can transform our economic system to be more sustainable for the Global South. Especially in this field it is important to be able to convince people about the feasibility of a change towards a more sustainable system. I hope that the skills we learn at be.boosted can help me to communicate more effectively the need for such a change.

Julius Werner

The debate culture of shortened messages and polarization thrives in the digital age of an algorithmically shaped discourse.  These changes motivated my studies of Economics, Law, and International Affairs. I have joined be.boosted to cooperate with these passionate minds in understanding societal challenges and evolve our communicative skillsets. In my mind, only candid discourse can bridge the gaps among academia, politics, and societies.

Nick Seiferth

As a medical student I firsthand get to experience the fundament of human needs daily. To embrace the strengths of a functional healthcare system as an example, it is paramount to critically understand the flaws of the sociopolitical network behind. With the challenge to change established grievances, be.boosted will provide the unique opportunity to connect with people fighting the same scene and eventually forming shared visions for a brighter future. I am looking forward to an extremely fruitful time with innovative and inspiring minds at team LIMUN 2022!

Helen Spangler

I am super excited to be part of the be.boosted LIMUN Team, because it consists of incredibly interesting people, with diverse backgrounds and inspiring stories. Having studied very interdisciplinarily so far, I highly value such environments. They enable us to learn very important skills of good leaders, such as being aware of and incorporating different approaches and opinions. Looking to the future, I hope to apply these skills in the intersections of the political and the economic sphere.

Tabea Hosak

Having a background in Business Psychology and Change Management I know about the importance of leadership in transformation. As our society is currently facing big challenges that require systemic and sustainable change, I am grateful for the opportunity of further developing my own leadership skills together with this group of inspiring, motivated, and like-minded young people. Let’s make the most out of it and change the world for the better!

Fabian Moormann

As an interdisciplinary student, I love changing perspective on the way we see the world and discussing solutions that are out of the box. Thanks to be.boosted, we will figure out ways our generation can make lasting changes in society, together with young people from all over Europe. I am driven by the will to contribute to solutions of central challenges which tackle the core of social, political and economic issues in global interplay.

Joséphine Sangaré

I very much look forward to the new insights and challenges of the upcoming weeks. The opportunity of training leadership skills in a group with various topical backgrounds is an exciting journey and I am grateful to be part of it. Among working on problems relating to law and cybersecurity, I am passionate about sports, designing and making bespoke handbags, and meeting people with different views to challenge my ideas.

Nina Regenhardt

Nina studies European Affairs and Economics at Sciences Po Paris, where she also obtained her Bachelor’s degree, after an exchange year at Princeton University. Having completed internships with members of parliament in France and Germany, at a think tank and a consultancy, Nina aspires to a career in international public policy. Be.boosted now is a unique opportunity to grow together in a group of ambitious young leaders and to work towards a common goal: a successful LIMUN conference!

Sarina Spiegel

If you're reading this, you're apparently interested in what be.boosted fellows are up to. My great passions: Exploring how we can and must transform our global economic system to make it sustainable and humane. When I'm not thinking in megalomaniacal categories, I love to laugh with friends, play the piano, and create todo lists that get updated faster than I can work through them. Hit me up if you have any questions or are also interested in how to transform our economic system :)

Arno Ratzinger

My mission is enabling the green transformation to protect our planet by building bridges across disciplines and communities.
Currently I do my Masters in International Affairs at the Geneva Graduate Institute, following my undergrad at Sciences Po and Maastricht University. I am the co-founder of ComposTerra where we fight plastic pollution by developing circular biomaterials. At be.boosted I look forward to join forces with other purpose driven individuals who wish to improve their leadership skills.

Eike Stau

Good leadership skills are more important than ever in the face of growing challenges ranging from climate change, fake news, and protectionism to digitization, including, of course, the whole range of cyberspace.  As a Fellow at be.boosted, I will foster the soft skills needed to effect meaningful change and grow personally. Most of all, though, I'm looking forward to the people. I'm excited to meet the many change-driven and committed young people from all over Europe who will be joining me!

Cornelia Braun

As a journalist I aspire to examine diverse topics ranging from technological to social matters and collaborate in a changing media landscape. By joining be.boosted, I hope to learn on how to adapt my communication skills in future work environments. Hence, leadership is not only about exceeding your own skills but also cooperating in teams. I am excited to work with an interdisciplinary group and broaden my perspective. Foremost, I am looking forward to exploring new waters with curious people!
