A consortium led by CHE Consult, the creator of memo©, will conduct a large scale study of the effect volunteering has on young people, their communities and hosting as well as sending organisations. Applying the memo© methodology will allow us to learn more about how youth personality is shaped by the experience of non-profit work in a foreign country, which has not been properly evaluated before. The data collection will take place in 2016 and results are expected to be published in 2017.

The study for the European Commission will be conducted in a cooperation of CHE Consult and a renowned consultation firm ICF International.

A new tool based on the memo© methodology was released. It is dedicated to measuring personality traits crucial for career success and teamwork of academic and non-academic university staff as well as other professionals, in particular those working in an international environment. The tool is available free of charge.
