Beginning of last week we received an interesting letter at the headoffice of AEGEE-Europe. The letter was addressed for:
M. Franck Biancheri
AEGEE-Europe
Rue Nestor de Tière 15
1030 Brussels, Belgium
As most of you know, there is no Mr. Biancheri in the current Comité Directeur. This is not the most surprising part, as we almost every week receive a letter that was addressed to some former CD-member. Franck Biancheri, however, can not be described as just “some former CD-member”. As hopefully many of you already know, he was the founder of the États Génereaux des Étudiants de l’Europe in 1985, which later became AEGEE.
The letter was sent from the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation. I will not go much into details of the content, as it might be against privacy laws and correspondence secrecy. Our founder is nominated for an honourable position, because his role in the creation of the ERASMUS exchange programme. His lobbying for this programme can not be seen independent from his role in the establishment of our organisation, as he was the founding president of EGEE at that time.
Therefore, AEGEE-Europe is very proud that our founder was nominated for this achievement. We forwarded the letter to Mr. Biancheri and we hope that when he accepts the nomination, more of you will here about it through other sources.
