A forum dedicated to CIGRE the Next Generation Network
The Global Young Member Showcase Event at CIGRE Paris Session 2018 invites all CIGRE National Committees (and individual CIGRE members from countries that do not have a National Committee) to participate in the Global Young Member (YM) Showcases at the CIGRE Paris Sessions.
The showcase was originally initiated by CIGRE-UK Next Generation Network (NGN), aiming at providing a good development and networking opportunity for global Young Members (YMs) to showcase their work in this excellent international platform.
Through the event, it was also expected to enhance international collaboration between YM groups and increase YM participation in the Paris Session, while driving sustainable membership growth for CIGRE by engaging with potential future experts in the industry.
The first Global YM showcase event was held at CIGRE Paris Session 2016, which turned out to be a great success: 14 countries participated and 22 young members around the world got the chance to present their work at the conference. With the positive feedback received from participants, Study Committee (SC) chairs and audiences, it is planned to hold the second event in the CIGRE Paris Session 2018.
