The General Assembly of Members of the ENVITECH-Net was held in days of 11-12 June 2007 in Ustron, Poland.
 During that meeting works over the Network Strategic Research Agenda has been initiated in 4 technologically focused thematic groups: waste management, water management, air pollution and GCC and soil protection. 42 participants representing 29 organistions - the ENVITECH-Net Members - took part in the event. The SRA reports will be available on the network webpages for commenting in an open consultation process before the end of June.
We would like to thank all the participants for their input and creativity during these two days. And we would like to give a special thank to the Moderators of each of the sessions, meaning: Dr. Ireneusz Baic, Prof. Liliana Krzystek, Prof. Wojciech Dabrowski, Dr. Wlodzimierz Ratajczak, Dr. Janina Fudala, M.Sc. Damian Kasperczyk and Prof. Rafal Kucharski. Without their commitment and stimulating activity it would be much harder to start with drafting the Strategic Research Agenda for our Network.
The General Assembly of ENVITECH-Net Members combined with thematic workshops focused on development of the ENVITECH-Net Strategic Research Agenda took place in Ustron, Poland, in the days of 11-12 June 2007. In total 42 participants from 29 Member Organisations attended to the meeting.
