Tobias August

Co-Founder

Hi, I’m Tobias, a passionate advocate for European integration. I firmly believe that Europe needs to grow closer—economically, politically, and socially. To achieve this, we must make Europe more tangible and part of everyday life, so let’s shape the future together! 🚀💡 Currently, I am pursuing my second master’s degree, focusing on artificial intelligence from a computer science perspective and data protection from a legal standpoint. When I’m not immersed in academia, I love hiking and road cycling—exploring both nature and new ideas on the go.
