5. THE AIMS OF ERENET
(i) Creation of a network of professors, lecturers, scientists, experts from CEE to work together in order to create common Central European set of values,
(ii) Exchange of university curriculum, lecturers and later students,
(iii) Launching joint research projects
(iv) Organizing workshops, seminars on entrepreneurship
(v) Preparing joint Internet periodical.

6. LEGAL STATUS
ERENET is an open-ended research and development network based on partnership relation among its Members. ERENET has no deed of foundation in form of international contract.
It is an unregistered contract type organization. The Members based on suvereign decision participate in specific projects, support each other's events, and contribute with their scientific research results, publications to common intellectual capital. This is an indispensable condition of valid membership.

7. EUROPEAN ECONOMIC INTEREST GROUPING
Due to our legal status not being a legal entity, ERENET directly could not participate in any project launched by the European Commission. We could participate only in cooperation with institutions/universities/authorities of our members. It is a time to think how to transfer our prestigious and valuable network into a legal entity, e.g. Into a European Economic Interest Grouping - EEIG - based on the Council Regulation No 2137/85 of 25 July 1985.

9. CEE SET OF VALUES
"Hungary and Poland are two eternal oak, which are grown in a separate tribe, but the roots run far underground, invisibly linked and intertwined. Therefore, one is the existence and strength of the other life and health condition." .
WE ARE INTERDEPENDENT. WE CAN BE SUCCESSFUL IF WE COOPERATE WITH EACH OTHERS.
Stanislaw Worcell 1849
