STRENGTHENING THE EDUCATIONAL AND SCIENTIFIC COLLABORATION AMONG FACULTIES OF ECONOMICS WITHIN V4 AND COUNTRIES OF SOUTH EASTERN EUROPE See http://www.ekf.tuke.sk/ivf/ Strengthening the educational and scientific collaboration among Faculties of Economics within V4 and countries of South Eastern Europe (No. 30810004 - IVF) is a research project realised by an international consortium of partners, co-financed by International Visegrad Fund. Project commenced on the 1st of September 2008 and lasts for 22 months. Project aims at joining educational institutions of Economics for establishing mutual educational and scientific network of teachers and researchers from corresponding V4 countries and neighbouring countries. This project reaches the priority “Sharing V4 know- how with neighbouring regions”. A network established within this project will coordinate the mobility of Faculties´ project personnel; prepare workshops on best practices in educational area within Investment, Banking and Business oriented study programmes. Moreover it will cope with presentation of new teaching methods and know-how within distance and e-learning educational approaches. V4 practical abilities and skills in project targeting areas will be further on spread out to neighbouring regions via workshops and conferences with expert participation from praxis, leading industries and educational institutions besides the Visegrad Countries. Hence the Visual collaboration (videoconferences) between V4 and neighbouring countries will accelerate the exchange of research results, comments and ideas for starting further common project collaboration in near future.

ERENET Profile Vol. IV, No. 4. www.erenet.org • University of Miskolc (Partner), Hungary • Technical University of Kosice (Partner), Slovakia COOPERATION WITH OTHER NETWORKS International organizations and initiatives have been discovered ERENET. Discussions have been started in order to create synergy among few initiatives in CEE. 1. European Small Business Alliance (ESBA) http://www.esba-europe.org/ ESBA is a non-party political group which cares for entrepreneurs and the self-employed and represents them through targeted advocacy and profiling activities. ESBA also works towards the development of strong, independent advocacy and benefits groups in all EU countries. ESBA is welcomed the Entrepreneurship and Research and Education Network of Central European Universities (ERENET) as a new Pan-European Member. ESBA and ERENET agreed to exchange information and send to each other all relevant information. We highly appreciate the issue of the ESBA Bulletin with ESBA views on EU news and views on entrepreneurship. The ERENET Secretary send to its members the most important documents published by ESBA. We also provided contact information for ESBA for exploring the cooperation with Croatia, Poland and Serbia. In consequence of our activity ESBA prepared a country study on Croatia and UMIS became a member of the ESBA. Tina Sommer, Chairman of European and International Affairs of the Federation of Small Businesses (UK) invited ERENET to participate in the FSB Annual Meeting held on 13-15 March 2008 in London. Due to lack of financing, the ERENET Secretary could not participate at the ESBA Executive Board Meetings. However, the two secretaries frequently change information. 2. Permanent International Secretary of the organization of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation and the Turkish Representative of the Konrad Adenauer Foundation. BSEC Workshop on Development of Youth Entrepreneurship and SMEs 1-3 April 2009, Istanbul Since 1997, as Regional Adviser on Entrepreneurship and SMEs of the UNECE, the Scientific Director of ERENET developed and established special relationship with the Permanent International Secretariat of the Organization of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation (BSEC PERMIS) and the Representation of the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung (Foundation) (KAS) for Turkey. The KAS regularly organizes SME-.related workshops and events in the BSEC region. The programmes of these workshops are designed by the Scientific Director of ERENET including nomination of keynote speakers. This fact provides good opportunities to include appropriate and highly specialized ERENET Members. In the line with the abovementioned, the Workshop on “Development of Youth Entrepreneurship and Start-Ups” was held in Istanbul, the Republic of Turkey, on 1-3 April 2009. It was jointly organized by the Permanent International Secretariat of the Organization of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation (BSEC PERMIS) and the Representation of the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung (Foundation) (KAS) for Turkey, in cooperation with the Turkish Foundation for Small and Medium Business (TOSYÖV). In spite of the fact, that ERENET was not among the co-organizers of this event, it provided a significant contribution to the success of the workshop. On the second day of the Workshop, Mr. Dieter IBIELSKI, Presidential Counselor of the Union of Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (UMU), Germany; Prof. Dr. Hans-Jürgen WEISSBACH, University of Applied Sciences Department of Economy and Law 11
