Conference workshops
In the light of EPR motto “learning and developing together”, the Annual Conference which gathers over 100 EPR professionals every year is a unique opportunity to facilitate the connections among experts and support the exchange of know-how. In this respect, workshops have proved to be a key activity during which the EPR members can expose their good practice and raise a discussion with peers from other EPR members. For this reason, the EPR conference 2008 will once again include two rounds of workshops facilitated by EPR members for EPR members.
The workshops are accessible to the participants upon registration. Please the title of your workshop in page one of the registration form.

Wednesday 17th April, from 18.30
Interpersonal connection is a major factor for the success of international events and cooperation activities. With the recent expansion of the EPR membership and the increasing variety of topics discussed in the Platform, many new comers are expected at the Annual Conference. A smooth introduction and welcome to these new participants will contribute to maintain the usual friendly atmosphere of EPR events. Moreover, it will maximise the opportunities of fruitful exchange among the participants.
All the conference participants from the EPR network are therefore welcome to attend a networking event which will start with the welcoming drink in the Hotel “Oranjerie” on Wednesday 17th September from 18.30 to 19.30 (see address in the registration document at the section “hotel”). New comers will be introduced to professionals from other EPR centres. The participants will be gathered in small groups according their field of expertise or interest.
