Although the printed version worked well enough, the costs involved forced a reconsideration of the format. The new Editor, Christopher Jones, S dert rns H gskola University College, Sweden, developed that proposal further by launching a web-based Newsletter in June 2000, with the second issue released in November. The new format allows for a much wider and easier distribution, and maintains the quality of content provided by the previous Editor. Submission of news items, conferences, publications, vacancies and other relevant material are welcomed, by sending to the same address. The secretariat remains based in Aberdeen, with Barcelona taking over from May 2001.
Membership continues to grow year on year.
The group now has 314 members from 27 countries - a remarkably high level of membership given the highly focused subject specialism of the group. The majority of these are Faculty Staff, and Postgraduate Students, divided between interest intermediation specialists and those with wider interests in European integration theory. A significant other category of members are policy practitioners involved in EU Public Affairs themselves. It is our proud claim that virtually every published author in the subject field is a network member. Members are thus responsible for the considerable growth of literature, conference activities, and research on the subject in the 1990s.
