A plan to create a central bureau for the organization of ingoing and outgoing study tours won first prize during the first ever Participation Day, that took place on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The Participation Day, hosted in the C-Hall (Theil building), targeted to involve students and staff, giving them the chance to discuss their opinions and suggestions with members of various advisory boards and executive board. The need for an event like this stems from the lack of participation detected \u00a0by the Executive Board and the University Council among students and employees at EUR. Prior to the event, anybody on campus had been invited to submit their suggestions to improve the quality of EUR in any of its aspects. The three best ideas were selected to be pitched during the event, consequently one of them was crowned the best idea.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
