Mr. Miroslav Milinović, Program Committee Chair CUC'99: Come, have fun, dream and act after this conference!

How was the idea about CARNet Users Conference born?
The idea about CUC is almost as old as CARNet. All distinguished academic research networks in Europe have similar events so it was a logical step for CARNet too. The purpose of our conference is to give our users an opportunity to be active and present their results, exchange ideas, express problems and concerns.

Why was "Internet learning" chosen as the topic of this conference?
Because it is an evergreen. It is very actual, especially the topics "Training the Trainers" and "Distance Learning". We think that the topic is very provocative because it suggests the shift from learning about the Internet towards efficient use of the Internet as a learning tool.

How did you get in contact with keynote speakers - Jill Foster and George Munroe?
I first met them both in 1996, as lecturers at the ISOC Workshop, which I was attending. Recently I had an opportunity to be a member of the evaluation panel for Mr. Munroe's project "ETINU". So we had a chance to get to know each other. We chose them because their charisma and results in the Internet learning field.

What are the plans for the next CARNet Users Conferences?
Our wish is to attract even more participants from abroad, improve it and chose topics according to the wishes and needs of our users. We would not like CUC to become technical conference but rather to be user oriented and tailored according to the results, ideas and needs of our users. Visit the closing ceremony and find out our next year's topic.

Do you have any messages for the participants of this conference?
Come, have fun, dream and act after this conference!
