The idea behind the DeskConvention which took place in Brussels from 16th – 18th April 2010 was to gather the winners of our DeskChallenge and other active participants of previous Europe@myDesk events in the European capital for a weekend of discovering how the EU works on the spot. Sadly, the majority of our DeskChallenge winners couldn’t make it to Brussels because of volcanic ashes from Iceland that caused the closing of airspace in most Western and Northern European countries. Consequently, Brussels Airport and Charleroi Airport were closed from Thursday 15 April till Tuesday 20 April. In total, only 9 participants arrived on Friday by train or bus from the Czech Republic, France, Hungary, the Netherlands and Poland, while some were already in Brussels.
