Young Leaders' Meeting 2025


YLM 2025
This European Liberal Forum (ELF) seminar is set to take place in Luxembourg City, Luxembourg, from 12-14 September 2025 and aims to foster liberal leadership by bringing together the presidents of LYMEC Member Organisations.
The Young Leaders’ Meeting is exclusively aimed at Presidents or Vice-Presidents of LYMEC member organisations, as well as the Steering Committee of the IMS, and will focus on organisational growth, membership development and broadening outreach.
By providing the opportunity to cooperate and share best practices among Europe’s future liberal leaders, this project aims to explore and contribute to the ongoing discourse on EU Strategic Autonomy. We will examine the European Union’s capacity to act independently in key areas such as security, defence, technology, and economic resilience, while also considering the broader implications for the EU’s global role in light of today’s complex challenges.
Finally, this event aims to address the challenges faced by young liberals all over Europe by bringing their leadership together on common concerns before sharing their takeaways in the local communities as multipliers.
