Eurodesk is characterised by an important diversity in terms of national legal frameworks and structures. This diversity is a strength as it allows our services to be delivered in a flexible way, adapted to national realities. However, it also represents a challenge as each country has to find its own way of structuring its national networks.
The need to provide clear guidelines and models on how to structure the Eurodesk network, how to select and contract multipliers and ambassadors and clarify their roles, and better define what’s the place for young people in our network, has emerged in recent years. In addition, it would be important to understand the main challenges and opportunities and identify and share successful models and recommendations to recruit, manage and motivate Eurodesk multipliers and ambassadors as well as young ambassadors.
The result of the research will be a handbook with a description of who is who in the network (roles, etc.), practical guidelines on how best to structure the Eurodesk national networks with various models adapted to the size of the country, and other parameters to define. It will also contain country profiles. The researcher is expected to provide a clear methodology to analyse the situation and propose hands-on solutions to our network.
