The Task Force Meeting has also been the introduction of Claudia Rasche - our new face in the EYE Office. Claudia will resume the work of Dr. Markus Finck and attend EYE's future conferences and meetings. We would like to welcome her cordially within EYE and thank her for supporting us.

Continuing 15 years of success

In 2009 EYE passed its 15th year as a pan-European network of students and young engineers - a long story of success. In order to continue this impressive era, 30 active European Young Engineers have met in early October in Cologne to pave the way for EYE into a successful future. Focussing EYE's mission and vision, this workshop has led to an optimised strategic orientation and positioning of the network withinin the European context.

By integrating all members and member associations, EYE aims to advance its network in the near future. This includes enhanced communication - internally and externally - as well as an optimised representation. The website www.e-y-e.eu will soon become a central platform for networking, discussions and multinational working groups of EYE. Underlining the main goal of our network, this web portal will soon provide information and contacts to share experiences in the fields of work, studies and daily life of engineers in Europe. In the same manner, EYE will strengthen its position as contact point and voice of students and young engineers.

A first step towards a realisation of the new strategy has taken place only 3 weeks later - again in Cologne. The EYE Day - an informal get together of active European Young Engineers - could soon become a prime example showing how to network inbetween our prominent conferences. On October, 31st a group of 12 students and young engineers from various countries in Europe has met in Cologne to first visit the science museum "Odysseum". Sightseeing and dinner perfected a day of sharing experience and discussions. We are looking forward to the next EYE Day somewhere in Europe!

Meet you in Cologne!

This Autumn there won't be an EYE conference. In order to efficiently use this "gap" until EYE@Glasgow, there will be two different activities instead.

The first one is the strategic session on the EYE development in Cologne on Saturday, 10 th of October. During this session we will discuss the future of EYE and how to advance our network. Everyone is welcome to discuss and work on the future structure of EYE.

The second activity will be an EYE Day in Cologne on Saturday, 31st of October. Again, everyone is welcome to explore the ODYSSEUM - the famous Science Museum of Cologne - and join the social event in the evening. This is NOT an EYE Conference with official support of one of our member organisations. Therefore, this has to be self-organised by everyone completely.

See you in Cologne!!

EYE Hasselt in May

The EYE@Hasselt conference has been a great success. More than 100 participants enjoyed the magnificent programme organised by the team around Jan de Schepper. The EYE Presidency has moved to Preetam Heeramun who leads the preparations for EYE@Glasgow in Spring 2010.
