On 16 May 2008 our 2. Vice-President Wico Bunskoek aged 61 years died completely unexpectedly. With his demise we did not only lose one of our most active Board members but also a wonderful person and dear friend.

Wico Bunskoek was instrumental in the foundation of the European Network for Education and Training and contributed significantly to the development of our network in the difficult years after its foundation. He shaped EUNET with his passionate dedication to our European members and his talent to not only look for but also find pragmatic solutions. As director of Kontakt der Kontinenten he provided a lot of important input for our network and always asked us to look beyond the European borders. His commitment for our common cause will always be remembered.
