[Helga Bechmann]

Dear ELSNET list coordinators,

I would like to submit the following event information for inclusion in your
next e-mail announcement. The TRAIN-IT course information has been
circulated via ELSNET before, and we are now preparing new courses for 2005.
TRAIN-IT courses are directed at all technology-based entrepreneurs. I have
had a preliminary, positive e-mail exchange with Steven Krauwer and hope
that you will see the announcement below fit for inclusion.

Best regards,

Helga Bechmann
