REHVA Community of Young Professionals

REHVA is committed to advancing its programs and services for young engineers, helping them build their professional foundations and career. The REHVA Community of Young Professionals will be facilitating professional activities and knowledge exchange between young professionals (below 35 years old) in the fields of indoor climate management, HVAC and building services. We reach out first to former participants of the REHVA student competition and invite them to join our initiative.

REHVA will support the joint activities defined with the community members and offer advantages relying on the existing REHVA knowledge sources and services. Our aim is to create an online community and information hub tailored to the interest of community members.

For any inquiries, feel free contact us at rcyp(at)rehva.eu.

RCYP was born at the beginning of 2020 and due to the pandemic and its consequences, we didn't get to meet in real life before 2022. The first in-person social events took place during REHVA 14th HVAC World Congress, CLIMA 2022, in Rotterdam.
