When I started my career as higher education professional, Monika had just retired few months before, but "her" network and her work has been the first, real inspiration to me. The Network made me feel part of a community that today we would call "community of practices". It has been fuel to my professional development as long as I was working for the faculty of political science.
Thank you Monika, for your ideas, passion, commitment and insights, rest in peace.
My warm condolescences to Monika's family, friends and colleagues.
