European Muslim Professional Network Action Workshop

16 - 19 November 2008
Salzburg

This intensive four-day workshop held in Salzburg Austria brought together over 40 Muslims and a number of non-Muslim champions from around Europe to explore the possibilities and the modus operendi for launching CEDAR, a Europe-wide network of Muslim professionals.  Through productive facilitated working sessions, the Network’s structure, Boards, mission and objectives were all identified and Sector Working Groups began to develop innovative responses to critical issues via new project proposals and business concepts in the information technology, media, women's empowerment and political spheres.

The workshop concluded with an interim Governing Board and Chairman being established and with ISD and the Salzburg Global Seminar, the two meeting coordinators, forming an interim secretariat for the initial 18-24 months.  The aim is to establish the Network as its own self-managed and sustainable organisation within a two-year time period.
