To the STIMULATE 2 participants:

December 12, 2002.

We have one winner for the photo contest. He made some nice pictures of Belgium.

It is now time to say farewell.

We hope that STIMULATE 2 has been an enjoyable and interesting experience for you all.

Perhaps you did not really like the cold December weather during recent days, but we are sure that you will remember this for a long time, back in your warmer country.

We would like to thank all those who contributed to the success of this training program, and in particular

• Prof. Marc Nyssen for his efforts to take care of you at the VUB campus in Jette
• Prof. Egbert De Smet for his continuous enthusiasm in working with people from developing countries
• and of course to Liesbeth who has been a calm and hard working assistant for this training course

We hope that you go home with a more peaceful and enriched mind, so that you will be able to contribute to a better and more peaceful world for us all.

Thank you for being such a nice, kind and friendly group of colleagues.

STIMULATE 3 has been announced a few days ago. It is planned May-July 2003. We hope that you will recommend participation to your colleagues.
