We are looking forward to hearing from you and your ideas!
Our members pay an annual membership fee of 24 EUR (if you join in the second half of the year, it’s 12 EUR for the first year). As we want to give everybody the chance to get involved with CISS, it is possible to get an exemption from the membership fee under certain circumstances. All members receive a charitable donation certificate for their membership fees (on request). Beyond normal membership, we also offer a Junior sponsorship and Senior sponsorship for partners and supporters of the association.
You have ideas on how to solve international conflicts? You have made a thrilling observation abroad? You want to bring a new perspective into the current political debate or share an aspect of your thesis? Then write an article for our Think Tank! More than 350 people have so far shared their ideas here, from first year students to the president of the European Commission. Through our cooperation with the Diplomatic Magazine, you can even reach a broader audience.
Interested? Take a look at our formal requirements and get in touch with the regional manager who is responsible for the field that corresponds to your topic.
Finally getting active! Hands-on, but at the same time flexible. With young, ambitious people in tangible projects. And not as a life’s work, but if necessary only for a limited period of time. In Impact Groups you can contribute to our projects on a short- or long-term basis, no matter where you are. Young motivated people work together in Impact Groups to achieve a common goal – be it to organise a foreign policy event in Berlin or to write a policy paper on EU-ASEAN relations. Have a look at our current projects on the Impact Group page and find out how you can get involved.
You have an idea that you would like to bring to reality in a tangible project? You still need people to work with, a network or support to get funding? Then start your own Impact Group with our help!
As a start, you can get an overview of possible Impact Group ideas with CISS’s project tool box.
All our Impact Groups have started small but with innovative ideas. CISS supports you with our team, our network and the tools necessary to address current questions and challenges. Interested? Get in touch with Tom!
