The group was set up in 2002 to consolidate and impart continuity to an experiment launched in 1999 in the context of the \u201cAspen for a New Leadership\u201d project. The Aspen Junior Fellows President is Lucio Stanca.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aspen Junior Fellows contribute with their own ideas and initiatives to promoting informed and responsible European leadership through direct involvement in the Institute\u2019s programs and by taking part in activities devised specifically for them. They adopt a pragmatic approach to contemporary society\u2019s basic values and issues with a view to promoting an open discussion among positions that are potentially different in terms of backgrounds and skills, in an effort to enrich each Fellow\u2019s individual position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The program currently comprises some 80 young people working in Italy and abroad in such different walks of life as business, academia, research, the civil service, politics, communications, the arts, and culture.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aspen Institute Italia Board Members nominate Aspen Junior Fellows, and only after the Institute has vetted the application can a candidate join the group. Candidates must be aged between 25 and 33 and satisfy a certain number of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aspeninstitute.it\/en\/ajf-requirements\/\">requirements<\/a>. Membership in the group lasts for a maximum of five years and ceases when the member reaches the age of 35.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Membership is strictly personal and allows members both to take part in a specific program of events and to attend a certain number of the Institute\u2019s events. These include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 The Aspen Junior Fellows Annual Conference<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 International and national conferences and roundtables;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aspeninstitute.it\/en\/aspen-seminar-values-and-society\/\">Aspen Seminars on Values and Society<\/a>, inspired by the traditional and much-acclaimed central program of The Aspen Institute in the United States.
