Held online this year, rather than in Geneva, the high-level forum is the humanitarian field\u2019s largest event of the year and it brings individuals, organizations, and networks the opportunity to collaborate and address key issues in crisis response and preparedness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Students and alumni of the Master\u2019s Programme were highly active over the course of this year\u2019s three-week event through the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/humanitairussg?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">University Surge Support Group (USSG)<\/a>, an initiative that connects students to professionals and humanitarian organizations. Furthermore, their events received important engagement from high-level officials in the humanitarian field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first week was highlighted by the USSG\u2019s Opening Session, which was hosted by UNU-EHS and Tilburg University. The session\u2019s aim was to illustrate the critical role that universities play as a career pipeline and as hubs for research for the humanitarian field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe humanitarian system needs to evolve to address current challenges and leverage tomorrow\u2019s opportunities. For this, we need to invite the next generation of humanitarians. However, students are sometimes not even aware of the humanitarian field, or find it difficult to enter. The ambition of the USSG is to help students from all studies, backgrounds and countries create meaningful connections with humanitarians, and give them a seat at the table,\u201d said Kenny Meesters of Tilburg University, who initiated the USSG and co-organized this year\u2019s events with UNU-EHS Senior Scientist Joerg Szarzynksi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On hand to build that connection for the session were Master\u2019s Programme alumni James McArthur and Anna Lena Huhn, who imparted their knowledge and reflected on their career paths to an audience of over 100 interested students and jobs seekers.
