    EÜL is very grateful for the support of the European Youth Foundation of the Council of Europe, Estonian National Foundation of Civil Society (Kodanikuühiskonna Sihtkapital), Estonian Ministry of Education and Research, Tallinn University and Tartu Mill. Welcome! Dear Friends from the European student movement, I am most happy to welcome you on behalf of Federation of Estonian Student Unions (EÜL) to the 35th European Students’ Convention (ESC) in Tallinn. EÜL is hosting ESC for the very first time and we have chosen our medieval yet high tech capital as the intriguing venue. The ESC “Inclusive Student Movement” concentrates on the safety and well- being of international students in the society and their inclusion in the student movement. EÜL sees problems with the latter aspects both in Estonia and in Europe at large. Together with globalization the internationalisation of higher education in Europe has increased rapidly. Each year there are more and more students who continue their studies abroad. Unfortunately, different societies are not always welcoming of international people, causing the students to experience discrimination in different forms. Furthermore not all higher education institutions are prepared to offer the necessary support and information needed to make the integration of international students and the overcoming of cultural barriers smooth. In addition, there is also a lack of representation of international students on the local, national and international level in the student bodies. The prior description paints a quite gloomy picture. We see there’s a lot of room for improvement. And there always will be because its like Don Quixote and his fights with the windmills.

  • L'estonia E Tallin A.C. Di Lucrezia Nunziati
    L'ESTONIA E TALLIN Lucrezia Nunziati 2hs EESTIT JA TALLIN Salve a tutti sono Olga Ivanova e oggi vi presenterò lo Stato in cui sono nata: l'Estonia. Tere , kõik , olen Olga Ivanova ja tutvustan teile täna riiki , kus sündisin : Eestit . L'Estonia, ufficialmente Repubblica d'Estonia, con capitale Tallinn, è una repubblica parlamentare situata nell'Europa nord - orientale, confinante ad est con la Russia e a sud con la Lettonia e bagnata a nord e ad ovest dal Mar Baltico, che la separa dalla Finlandia e dalla Svezia. È il più settentrionale dei Paesi Baltici e la popolazione è di circa 1,5 milioni di abitanti. È uno Stato membro dell'Unione europea, passato all'euro il 1º gennaio del 2011, divenendo il diciassettesimo membro dell'Unione Europea, ed è uno degli Stati col più basso debito pubblico. L A BANDIERA La bandiera estone nasconde molte curiosità . Nacque all'università Tartu e venne consacrata il 4 giugno 1884 , tuttavia venne bandita dopo l'invasione da parte dell'Unione Sovietica , nel giugno 1940. La bandiera rimase nascosta durante gli anni dell'occupazione straniera sovietica fino ai giorni della perestrojka negli anni ottanta quando , il 24 febbraio 1989 fu sventolata di nuovo da Pikk Hermann, un ermanno , a Tallinn. La bandiera è composta da tre bande orizzontali di uguale dimensione . I colori , partendo dall'alto sono : blu , nero e bianco . È conosciuta come sinimustvalge . Le interpretazioni dei colori sono le seguenti : • Il blu è il colore del cielo , i laghi e il mare d'Estonia e simboleggia lealtà alle idee nazionaliste ; • Il nero è il colore della terra patria e dello stemma nazionale ; • Il bianco è il colore del popolo che cerca la felicità e la luce.

    Research and Development Council RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT IN ESTONIA 1996 - 1999 STRUCTURE AND TRENDS Tallinn 2001 Secretariat of the Research and Development Council State Chancellery The Stenbock House,3 Rahukohtu St. 15161 Tallinn, ESTONIA http://www.tan.ee Fax: (372) 693 5704 Phone: (372) 693 5702 [email protected] Compilers: Dr. Rein Kaarli Dr. Tiit Laasberg Translator: Juta Reiska Language editor: Eda Tammelo ISBN 9985-50-327-9 I have persistently kept asking what Estonia’s Nokia could be. This has even become part of local folklore. Yet the conclusion drawn by many Estonians, including several prominent gures, that the Presi- dent is looking for one single product like Pippi Longstocking once looked for Spunk - is somewhat unexpected. As a matter of fact, the President of Estonia is not supposed to seek Estonia’s Nokia. I am seeking it for you. For those who are too lazy to do it themselves. However, it is every Estonian proprietor’s task to look for their own so-called Nokias, and nd at least six of them annually. The key factor to innovation is man. I have used this example of Nokia to draw attention to the product that Estonia does not make in large quantities - this is world-class labour force. A study loan taken with the intention to get proper education and training would consti- tute a safe investment in any case, for the borrowers will, sooner or later, rise to such high and well-paid positions that returning the loan is as easy as anything. Having adopted Western-type business culture and well functioning marketing mechanisms, it is now primarily in the eld of intellectual property that Estonia, in order to survive in the third round, needs to be able to create surplus value.
