ESF transnational Platform conFErEncE

Inspiration, practice, future 1

It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the annual conference of

the ESF Transnational Platform, which has now reached the midpoint of

its lifespan.

I’m delighted to see so many of you here, and am grateful for the energy

and commitment you have shown in bringing expertise and vitality to our

nine Thematic Networks.

Present at this event are delegates from 26 EU Member States – from

ESF Managing Authorities, Intermediate Bodies, social partners, non-gov-

ernmental organisations and projects – as well as from European institu-

tions and umbrella organisations.

You have before you a full programme of plenaries, inspirational sessions

and workshops on all the most important policy and practical aspects of

the European Social Fund.

Particularly at this time when the European project is facing criticism

from some quarters – thankfully not all quarters! – It is more important

than ever that we work together in a sprit of solidarity to address the

employment and social issues that face us.

This two-day conference is an opportunity not only to acquire expertise

on the policy areas relevant to the ESF, but to get to know each other and

build working relationships. In this way one of our most important aims

is that people from all over Europe should have the opportunity to learn

from each other, and apply that learning in their own countries.

I wish you a very successful and enjoyable event.
