On January 13, 2005 the participants of the seventh edition of Training Interaction Management celebrated their graduation, after they had presented their final projects to a regional forum which consisted of the following members: Ir. C.A.J.M. Langerwerf (City Manager Eindhoven), Drs. C.W.M. van Dijk (City Council Eindhoven, Urban Development), Mr. A.C. Oostendorp (Brigadier General, 13de Gemechaniseerde Brigade), Drs. C.H.J.C. Dewulf (CEO, Industriebank LIOF), Ms. L.J. Caille (International Recruitment Manager, Philips Design), Mr. H. Stroeks MHA (Manager Administrative Board, Catharina Hospital Eindhoven).

The jury found the projects presented of excellent quality, and expressed their hope that they will be realised in the South-East of the Netherlands (Eindhoven region) in the short run.

Training Interaction Management is a program which targets managers from industry, university, as well as government, and has been designed to stimulate co-operation among these sectors, by encouraging the participants to initiate new projects in the South-East of Brabant.

The successful Training Interaction Management program has graduated over one hundred participants to date.
