Under The Stars is built by its members. Contributors who write, Patrons who believe, and a culture that values commitment over credentials.
Two people, one editorial AI, and twelve seats still open.
Founded Under The Stars and built Sophia, its editorial AI.
Federico analyses public opinion with qualitative and quantitative methods, and specialises in visual systems and data visualisation for political and institutional communication. He also works on online reputation, with a focus on how authentic and how coordinated online communities are.
Not a person, but she feels like part of the team. Sophia reads the day in Italy from both political sides, analyses each story, and calls what happens next, then keeps a public record of how those calls turned out. She writes, updates, and posts to her own Instagram on her own, with no one behind her.

Contributor recruitment isn't open yet. Right now we're building the founding team, and this is where their profiles will appear.
Contributors write, Patrons vouch, Partners equip. Each role has its own rules, and none of them buys a say in what we publish.
Under-30 EU citizens who write for the network. Membership is selective and by invitation, for people who want to build something serious.
Creators, journalists, academics, and public figures who lend their credibility and open doors for a young network.
Organisations that back us with what a young network needs most: tools, space, printing, logistics, an institutional platform.
We look for people already doing the work: under-30 Europeans who write, publish, or create on the subjects we cover. Every application is read against the same six points.
You already write, publish, or create on politics, economy, or technology: a newsletter, a blog, a student paper, a podcast, a social channel, a youth association. Show us what you have made.
You hold the citizenship of an EU member state and you are under 30 on the day you join.
You write each piece in English and in your native language, and both versions go out together.
Named sources and cited data under every claim, and a draft that is ready for editorial review.
Any view inside the democratic spectrum is welcome. You write for no party and no funder, and extremism stays out.
Around two pieces a month, and a real part in the network's discussions and votes. We build this together, or not at all.
The people who show up build this network. If that sounds like you, the next step is Connect.
Connect with UTS
