ESC: Summit Makers! - 14 day volunteering supporting the Women in Tech Summit 2026 conference
📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
Perspektywy Education Foundation (PEF) is a non-profit organization established in 1998, specializing in supporting young people in making critical life decisions, such as selecting a profession, school, and university, as well as in enhancing the quality of Polish high school and university education. The Foundation publishes annual prestigious education rankings, including the National High School Ranking, University Ranking, and Study Fields Ranking. Since 2005, in cooperation with the Conference of Rectors of Polish Academic Schools, it has been conducting the "Study in Poland" campaign to promote Polish universities abroad. Additionally, in collaboration with the Ministry of Science and Higher Education, it implemented two systemic projects financed by the "Dialog" program (2019-2022): the "Visibility Project" about the promotion of Poland in the East as a hub for excellent IT studies and research and "Poland - IT Hub for You."
Perspektywy Women in Tech is a division of the Foundation dedicated to implementing projects that empower and support women and girls in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). For over 16 years, it has been inspiring, connecting, and encouraging women in technology, science, and innovation. PEF runs more than a dozen successful programs that inspire women to pursue STEM education, help them enter the job market, and establish successful IT/Tech careers by mentoring, career counseling, tech workshops and role model sessions.
💼 What the programme involves
Are you passionate about technology and social equality? Join the Perspektywy
Education Foundation for a 14day volunteering programme in Warsaw and
become part of the Summit Squad for the Perspektywy Women in Tech Summit
2026. Thirty energetic volunteers will support the organisation of one of Central and
Eastern Europe’s largest STEM & tech events, working at the heart of a conference
that gathers thousands of attendees, hundreds of experts and leading companies;
you will gain handson experience in event management, production, and community
building, attend panels on Responsible AI, Robotics, and Biotechnology, access
career fairs, meet representatives from top universities and tech firms, and
contribute directly to closing the gender gap in STEM while developing practical skills
and professional networks.
🏠 Accommodation on site
Volunteers will be accommodated in a shared hostel in Warsaw (typically 3-4 people per room) located close to the venue; either full catering or a food allowance will be provided with respect for specialised diets (vegan, vegetarian, and other needs), and each volunteer will receive €6 pocket money per day for personal expenses. Travel costs are reimbursed according to the ESC distance calculator, with green travel (bus/train) encouraged and eligible for extra support, and local mobility is covered through a Warsaw city pass so volunteers can use public transport freely during the activity.
🎒 Leisure activities
Before and during the event volunteers will take part in a structured training
programme including an online briefing, onsite onarrival training and thematic group
sessions with coordinators. Roles include Registration & InfoDesk, Stage Support (timekeeping, basic tech coordination), Accessibility assistance, Backstage production and logistics, and Media (photo and short social content); training covers safety, rolespecific procedures, use of the event app, basic technical tasks, and intercultural/teamwork skills so volunteers are confident, safe and effective in performing their duties.
⚠️ Requirements
The Participant profile: We seek motivated young people aged 18-30 from EU and partner countries, fluent
in communicative English and ready to work in a fastpaced, multicultural
environment; no prior tech background is required - what matters is a positive,
flexible “can do” attitude, teamwork skills, and reliability. All 30 places are reserved for
participants with fewer opportunities (economic, geographical or social barriers). Ideal
candidates are curious about new technologies, supportive of inclusivity and equal
access in STEM, and eager to learn about event production, community building, and
digital tools. Applicants should demonstrate respect for diversity, cultural sensitivity,
basic digital literacy (comfort with apps and social media), willingness to take part in
training and reflection sessions, and commitment to the full activity period.

ℹ️ Additional information
The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
What do we provide ?
Before applying for this volunteering project, you need to enroll yourself at European Solidarity Corps Platform (https://europa.eu/youth/solidarity_en) and specify your European Solidarity Corps Participant Number (PRN).
This organisation holds a European Solidarity Corps Quality Label.
