CEP Brno 2009

CEP Brno 2009

ESN International organises many international events throughout the year. Some of the most important meetings are Regional Platforms, platforms at which section members from a certain region come together to share knowledge, experience and culture, learn about new developments within the network and talk about all the things which concern their sections.

Most important regional platform for ISC MU is Central European Platform (CEP) where ESN members from Austria, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Hungary and Slovenia meet annualy.

CEP previously organized for example in Vienna (2006), Warsaw (2007) or Budapest (2008). Brno took it as a challenge and ISC MU together with ISC MZLU and ISC VUT decided to organize Central European Platform Brno 2009.

The Organizing Committee was voted in CEP Budapest and they are enthusiastically working on creating the best CEP ever! So book already your tickets, in the mid October 2009 Brno will be the place to be!
