The ENHANCE STEM Ambassadors Programme empowers female Bachelor and Master students from ENHANCE universities to become visible role models for other young women and girls – especially those from underrepresented backgrounds.
As ambassadors, students share their personal journeys in STEM, engage in inspirational storytelling, and connect with their peers through international events and outreach activities through communication channels of ENHANCE and on site events in their universities.
We enable female students to develop confidence and self-worth, follow their aspirations in STEM, and serve as role models for their classmates and younger generations, encouraging people to view STEM as a field where women too can succeed and change the world and gain valuable skills in public speaking, mentoring, and inclusive communication.
The active STEM ambassadors are invited to join annual community meeting (in 2025 in Brussels, in 2026 in Warsaw and Prague) and to large scale events (e.g. Women and Girls in STEM Forum and Women in Tech Summit).
Selected STEM Ambassadors represent their universities and the ENHANCE Alliance by sharing their personal academic journeys, engaging in outreach and informal mentoring, and participating in international STEM events co-organised by ENHANCE. The STEM Ambassadors act as visible, relatable role models in STEM for fellow university students and younger generations.

What Do our STEM Ambassadors Do?
STEM Ambassadors of ENHANCE support outreach and inspiration activities aimed at encouraging girls and young women to pursue studies in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. They share their personal STEM journeys through ENHANCE communication channels, such as social media and selected local events at their home universities.
Ambassadors create short videos about their motivation for studying STEM and their everyday campus life, participate in outreach events such as study information days or Girls’ Day, and engage in informal exchanges with interested students, including online conversations. They may also contribute to international events organised in collaboration with the ENHANCE Alliance, such as forums dedicated to women and girls in STEM.
STEM Ambassadors collaborate with ENHANCE Buddies and work locally to empower our community.
Throughout the programme, STEM Ambassadors are supported by the ENHANCE team and are encouraged to bring in their own ideas and actively co-design new outreach and engagement formats.
Who can become an ENHANCE STEM Ambassador?
We welcome all kinds of students from all STEM disciplines enrolled at ENHANCE universities.
You don’t need perfect grades or previous ambassador experience: what matters is your motivation, authenticity, and willingness to inspire young women and girls. Students involved in associations or outreach activities are welcome but not required. You do not need to have participated in ENHANCE activities before.
