Description
Aspen Institute Romania has opened the call for nominations for its Young Leaders Program.

This Program is designed for people who have the potential, interest and determination to exercise leadership to the highest standards of civic and corporate responsibility and according to the ethical values on which Aspen is based. For this reason Aspen Institute offers a program which challenges people to think about the fundamental concepts on which our society is founded.
