Medicine, Ulm

As a Medical Student pursuing a career in life sciences, I am strongly motivated to improve my conversational skills as well as my leadership skills. Being a be.boosted fellow, I look forward to grow among an inspiring and diverse group of people throughout the next months. Moreover, since having an interest towards public health issues, participating at my first MUN will give me further future directions.

Global Health, Aachen

As a medical student with global health interest I want to fight global health crisis of which the greatest is currently the climate crisis and its (health) consequences. I am honoured to participate in the WorldMUN as a be.boosted fellow, particularly in times where Covid19 offers a window of opportunity in many ways. While sipping my rooibush tea with oats milk, I can’t wait to meet and get inspired by the other fellows!

Energy Science, Zurich

I am passionate about building connections between people, organisations and ideas to advance sustainability. be.boosted will help me reflect about how to build these connections in a diverse and inspiring community. Next to my Master’s studies in Energy Science at ETH Zurich, I’m founder of the student organisation greenAble – a great opportunity to directly apply the new skills I will acquire during the fellowship.

Public Policy, Berlin

Having innovative ideas is important but communicating them clearly and convincingly is key. We all had times when we had a great point but could not deliver it with the force and appeal that we intended to. That’s why I look forward to the fellowship’s rhetoric training. My public policy master program is turning me into a data geek so I am glad to step outside of the data room to join be.boosted!

Chinese Studies, Munich

Thanks to international exposure since I was 16, I have a mind as open as a valley, as the Chinese would say. Yes, I‘m a cosmopolite and my passion is China. That is why I’m pursuing a China-related PhD. That’s also why today, in the face of many global crises, I deem international negotiations, like at MUN conferences, of vital importance. Plus, I’m excited to develop my own leadership style during the fellowship.

Psychology in Sport, Cologne / Vienna

Bringing critical and scientific thinking together with social activism and motivation is the key to make an emphasis, awareness and potential change of current world problems. Joining the be.boosted delegation and the interdisciplinary team allows challenging yourself and others in this learning process. Thus, I am excited to network, share experiences and explore the boundaries of the comfort zone in order to grow and make an impact in my community.

International Culture & Business, Passau

Pursuing degrees in economics, politics and american studies as well as in journalism, I am thrilled to be part of the fellowship 2021 since it offers me the unique opportunity to combine my interests with a training in rhetoric, negotiation and leadership skills. Having lived in Costa Rica, New Zealand and the U.S. I am excited to join an international network of like-minded people to take on the challenge together.

Engineering, Munich

I am passionate about building a more sustainable world. As an engineer in the clean tech field working at different start-ups, I got to know the importance of effective communication. I want to learn to express my thoughts and ideas clearly in order to foster maximized collaboration. I strive to improve my leadership and public speaking skills, push myself and grow – in a fun, collaborative environment. Soft skills are becoming increasingly important to create positive change in this world!

Production Engineering, Stockholm

I joined be.boosted because of its open and supportive atmosphere, creating a space of collaborative growing. The targeted subjects of leadership and effective communication are key in so many occasions, both small and large context, and highly relevant also in my engineering field of studies. With this exciting journey in mind, I am looking forward to meeting all the inspiring people involved in the weeks to come.

Psychology, Munich

I am excited – exited for meeting, discussing and learning with my peer fellows in the coming months. Joining be.boosted is not just about learning effective communication and public speaking – it’s about the people. I want to get to know the other fellows, the trainers, and the alumni. As we come from various backgrounds, I believe all of us have inspiring ideas for the future that are worth listening to, worth sharing and maybe even worth working on together.

Law, Bonn

Working hand in hand on our flaws regarding communication and negotiation skills enables us to develop on a personal and professional level. These qualities play an essential role in a complex modern society where value-based and transparent leadership is of utmost importance. I am truly looking forward to working with so many exciting and engaged young people as a part of the Team LIMUN 2021!

Physics, Cambridge / Berlin

Wanting to link what I am learning at Uni to society and to creating a positive impact, I am very excited to join be.boosted to learn about public policy and international decision-making. I am interested in the skills necessary to develop and present one’s argument and am looking forward to reflecting on and learning about communication as a way of understanding and of creating new ideas together.

Public Policy, Berlin

I am excited – exited for meeting, discussing and learning with my peer fellows in the coming months. Joining be.boosted is not just about learning effective communication and public speaking – it is about the people. I want to get to know the other fellows, the trainers, and the alumni. As we come from various backgrounds, I believe that all of us have inspiring ideas for the future that are worth listening to, worth sharing and maybe even worth working on together.

Economics, Frankfurt

As a PhD student in Economics, I truly love the theories and models with which I deal on a daily basis. But what makes me so passionate about my field, is really the chance of applying new insights to global problems such as inequality and climate change. With this goal in mind, I always seek to improve my leadership and communication skills, while exchanging thoughts and having fun with fascinating people!

Philosophy, Politics and Economics, Oxford / Hemmingen

Having had the privilege of doing an intercultural exchange, and now of studying abroad, I have developed a passion for international affairs. At be.boosted I hope to not just experience a first-class MUN simulation of international affairs, but also to improve many crucial skills like public speaking and debating. I look forward to being pushed outside of my comfort zone and working with highly driven people

Public Policy, Berlin / Paris

Be.boosted is a great opportunity to practice exactly what I am not taught at university: how to communicate knowledge and ideas so that they transcend the classroom and inspire others who are not experts in your field. I am passionate about discussing public policy issues and how we can overcome the short-sightedness and path-dependency of politics. This being said, I look forward to encountering curious and critical minds!

Mathematics, Cambridge / Berlin

During the Covid-pandemic, we’ve seen the importance of science communication. Academia must strive for exchange with the wider population to restore trust in scientists and change peoples’ lives. I am very grateful for the chance to learn from my mentors and peers and improve my rhetorical skills. When I am not studying mathematics, I enjoy music and sports, planning projects and heated discussions.

Political and Social Studies, London / Essen

I am looking forward to ameliorating my communication and negotiation skills within an inspiring be.boosted-community. The experiences of living and working on various continents have prompted my interest in international relations and diplomatic affairs. Thus, I joined the UCL Diplomacy Society and am gaining valuable skills as Head Columnist for its Diplomacy Review. In entering the world of public speaking now, I feel empowered in my pursuit of becoming a responsible future leader.
