This year’s conference, hosted by the Austrian Federal Bureau of Anti-Corruption (BAK), will not only provide a useful opportunity to network but also to continue and enhance the important discussions among our members. I look forward to our constructive exchanges and would like to take this opportunity to provide you with the 14th edition of the EPAC/EACN Contact Catalogue: it assembles facts and figures on our membership based on the input we have received throughout the year. You can also find the latest version of the Contact Catalogue and further information on our website www.epac-eacn.org. While the Annual Professional Conference is the highlight in our networks’ events calendar, we have all contributed to maintaining and deepening our networks as well as made an effort to facilitate a direct, sustainable exchange of information and experiences over the course of this past year in multiple event formats. The fruitful and interesting dialogues during the two Board Meetings in Tallinn and Vienna ensured the further strategic planning and coherent future orientation of EPAC/EACN. At the second board meeting in May, the discussions particularly focused on the progress made by the EPAC/EACN Working Groups and on new memberships. The Board received several new membership requests, which outlines the strong importance of and high interest in the work of our networks. The Working Group with the working title „How can POB organisations monitor the authorities of police forces in respect of the balance between collective security and individual rights during mass meetings/events” held its first meeting in April. The Working Group “Analysis of big data, related legal aspects and the use of data” convened for its second meeting in March. All of these meetings brought new insights and broadened our perspectives. I know for a fact that advancing our networks’ goals and mission would not be possible without the effort of each of our members. Therefore, I would like to thank every participant for their contribution to and continued support of our networks.
