At December 10th Napoli was facing a big group<br />
of stu<strong>de</strong>nts, getting of at Statione Mercellina to<br />
climb up the way to the Hostel Mercellina, the<br />
youth hostel where they were supposed to stay for<br />
the final conference of <strong>Socrates</strong> on the move<br />
project.<br />
It was a big ”hello” with everybody happy to see<br />
each other again and sharing their experiences<br />
from the work they have done in the course of the<br />
project.<br />
Whereas Sunday evening rather focused on gathering<br />
of reports and informal meeting, on Monday<br />
morning the conference was officially opened by<br />
the representatives of the Fer<strong>de</strong>rico II University<br />
of Napoli, Samuele Morcia of the Italian National<br />
<strong>Socrates</strong> Agency and the representative of the<br />
European Commission, Marja Karjaleinen.<br />
questions was taken into account on Tuesday<br />
morning during the panel discussion with Marja<br />
Karjaleinen, Samuele Morcia and Inge Knudsen<br />
from the Confe<strong>de</strong>ration of European Union<br />
Rectors’ Conferences.<br />
In the afternoon the promoters and guest were<br />
focussing on discussing the future of <strong>Socrates</strong> on<br />
the move and in what way its extension could be<br />
done.<br />
Final Conference<br />
The highlight of the conference on Monday morning<br />
was presentation of the reports from the participating<br />
countries. All promoters were asked to<br />
present the current situation of the implementation<br />
of <strong>Socrates</strong> II in their respective countries and<br />
their own work.<br />
The reports were often un<strong>de</strong>rlined by rather amusing<br />
stories from events and happenings the promoters<br />
were facing during their work with the<br />
project.<br />
Monday afternoon was reserved for the discussion<br />
groups with Steering group and report from seminars.<br />
The workshops on obstacles of mobility,<br />
impact of <strong>Socrates</strong> II.<br />
Discussion of the workshops was very lively, and<br />
Bologna process gave lively discussion, since<br />
most of the promoters were confronted with various<br />
aspects of those topics and could bring in their<br />
point of view.<br />
The need for discussion and the unending flow of<br />

summit of the year, combined with the<br />
warmest December most of us every experienced.<br />
