Dear reader,

This year my time in residence in Brussels will surpass the 20-year mark, I thought it is time to set up my own homepage; as I am 25 years within the European Affairs sector, I have launched the project's first phase, - to be built upon in the near future.

The purpose of this website is to address the numerous thematic activities in many countries over this course of time, most of the focusing on European Affairs, as well as to highlight some of the more memorable encounters with interesting people I have met both professionally and socially.

In the coming months, you will find Key Notes for each year since 1980, with monthly notes related to the European Union from 1992 onward. These are based on the approximately 1600 presentations on European Affairs I have given since 1992. Among the 50 EU Projects in which I have participated since 1992, one per year is highlighted.

In Publications, fifty writing samples are presented, while in Thematic Events is a list of events in which I played a role alongside many others. A short CV is added.

It will also be possible to follow the survey related to a research concerning European integration under the topic "Regions in Brussels; - a contribution to European Affairs"? - in the Research section, which will eventually include a list of two hundred local and regional entities from approximately forty countries. A list of Academic institutions is presented , for whom I had the pleasure to give different interventions. Interesting books about European Affairs are highlighted too, one per year since 1992.

Under Media & CD are fifthy references towards me related to European Affairs and examples of competence development (CD) cases, one per year since 1992.
In E A Portraits you find several interesting iessays concerning some actors I had/have the pleasure to work with in specific cases. The VIP Corner will hold a photo gallery; perhaps yours will be among the first five hundred images!

In the Additional section, there will be information about history and art, two major interests of mine, as well as hunting and farming, mainly at 70° North, which are two more. I have includeed favorite works of literature, one per year since 1980 - the same timeline as for the photographs to be presented.

Under - 25 YEARS, you will find information concerning the planned event for my 25th years "anniversary" within E A - of which 20 in Brussels. Including upcoming several articles during this year and the planned art expo "Arctic Art 70° North" with 25 different objects.

For a better Europe!
