> This half a year passed faster than any before. It was full of great
> experiences and difficult moments. Even though I was working in the
> head office for three moths before joining the CD I did not realize
> what really the work in the CD means. First of all I understood how
> important is the fact that we were candidates for the posts of CD
> members not for certain positions. The CD is not a place for lonely
> knights; I wouldn't achieve anything without my dear friends from the
> CD who also helped me when I had to face difficulties in personal
> life.
>
> Quo Vadis Europe
> I was coordinating this project long before I joined the CD. Now the
> final conference is coming and while this report is being written
> (one month before the agora) the final conference is already fully
> prepared thanks to perfect cooperation with AEGEE - Utrecht. The
> project team changed several times in the time the project was
> running and it didn't have centralised funding. This bore fruit of
> several cancellations that disappointed motivated people. The
> promising talks with possible sponsors of the final publication are
> in progress and the results of the Summit of 28 were already
> presented to institutions.  Top this end I must say I am proud of our
> Network that created several outstanding conferences, which most
> importantly brought innovative results. The enthusiasm that many of
> them met (especially the Summit of 28) is a prove that we are good in
> organising content-oriented events and, what is more important we are
> able to enjoy them.
>
> Borderless Europe
> After gathering the results of the different conferences, and
> preparing the final brochure the time has come to present the
> financial report and promote the results. This is a difficult task as
> many reports from the locals were not handed in and we are not able
> to fully answer the difficult conditions of the contract. For that
> reason the contract is being renegotiated what probably will take
> more time, as the procedures in the European Institutions are time
> consuming. At the same time the results of the project are being
> promoted among the supporters of the project and European decision
> makers, the meetings are being set wherever possible.
>
> Roots of Europe
> The difficult situation was already visible when I took over the
> post. The topic did not have a clearly drafted shape and the project
> team did not have an idea how to overcome encountered problems and
> even given all possible help from the CD did not manage to
> successfully finish the setting-up phase. Therefore the CD suggested
> the new idea of the project and we are looking for ways to implement
> it.
>
> The project teams role
> Before the elections I stated that in my opinion the project teams
> should be given more independence in their activities. Many people
> considered it a utopia but anyway I decided to give it a try by
> consulting and supervising the teams instead of taking authoritarian
> decisions. In the case of Roots of Europe it failed, but in other
> cases, Eureca for instance, this strategy was a great success and I
> still believe that this approach is worth being continued. For the
> same reason I respect the decisions of the coordination team of the
> EFD project. They know their project and their capacity the best and
> even if my dream would be to expand the project I am not able to do
> it alone
>
> Others
> I mentioned the YP2003 as one of my achievements and I think it needs
> being
> explained. I believe that the network's role in the YP selection
> should be bigger,
> since the proposal was born at my workshop in Helsinki at the Think
> Europe
> Planning Meeting and it was written down by these participants who
> could
> contribute afterwards to the preparations of this proposal. The
> general idea of the
> proposal was born at the Idealist Meeting which I also believe was
> implementation of our common belief that the dialog between the CD
> and the Network should be strengthened also between Agoras.
