President‘s Wor(l)d

Dear members and friends!

It took some time, but my batteries are fully charged

again and the missing sleep is regained.

For all those who were not able to come to Poznan I

can tell that you missed a great event. On the one

hand it was great to meet friends from all over

Europe again and to remember old times, celebrate

ELSA and live some new memorable moments.

But it was also great to be close to ELSA again and

have a look and an impression how ELSA is doing

nowadays. More than 370 students were present to

think, discuss and plan their activities and associa-

tion. We saw that the association we once were re-

sponsible for is in good hands.

The first milestone in the anniversary year is passed—from the perspective of ELS very suc-

cessfully. About 150 alumni came to Poznan, starting from the early years of ELSA up to the

generation of the last years. The publication ELS presented, which was made with help of

many ELS members, was very well accepted. I have to mention here, that all contributions, in

writing and the sponsors, came exclusively from ELS and alumni of ELSA. Thank you for

that!

The anniversary year is not done yet. Many national and local groups celebrate this year, many

groups have their own anniversaries as well. The next possibilities to meet for ELS members

are the transition BBQ in Brussels (9./10.7.—the BBQ is Sunday evening) and the ICM and

assembly meeting of ELS in Palermo (23.-30.10). I am looking forward to meet you there ...

A successful event like the anniversary celebration is only pos-

sible, because a lot of individual persons dedicate their time,

resources and—last but not least—their heart to the event. Be-

cause of those individuals we could celebrate the event and the

parties.

The first persons I have to mention are the members of ELSA

Poznan and Poland who organised the event for us. In particular

I want to highlight from a great team the head of the OC Mal-

wina Grzybowska and Ania Napierala. We are aware that

alumni are not always easy to handle, but you managed in the

best possible way.

Talking about ELSA we are strongly supported by Laura

Schmitt, the director for alumni of ELSA International. We

were missing her at the event, but she was not able to come.

Thanks also to Kim-Julia Zamljen, the director for anniversary

of ELSA and the International Board of ELSA.

I think you all felt well looked after by Johanna Kauppinen.

Besides taking care of you participants, she also took care of the

fundraising for the publication, the tabula gratulatoria and many

many other things.

The OC was supported by our second director for the anniver-

sary Ania Ziemnicka. She was in contact with OC and giving

them a helping hand.

Pierangelo Graziani was not only organising the scholarship

programme, but also supporting the OC as an ITP trainer and

was in contact with the OC during the preparation of the event.

Claudius Krucker was taking care of the layout of the publica-

tion and our marketing. I am sure you have seen the cool roll-up

we have now.

Finally—last but not least—the

SecGen Arabela Trifoi was next

to her regular tasks proofreading

the publication, taking care with

Johanna of the presents and sup-

porting the president (including

the most important coffee of this

year).

Thanks to all of you

Robert
