Each Personal EU team is a unique entity: a more or less Union-wide part of a new kind of everyday life that deals with its own common topics. Also, for example, common hobbies and startup ideas and development ideas offer opportunities for anything.
On this page, you will find a wide variety of questions and also answers as a basis for further development - to inspire us as teams to create something new and better.
Starting a union-wide net team, as envisioned by the "Personal EU" concept, is beneficial for several key reasons:
Foster Interactivity: It is a way to transform the current (and growing) Union-wide interpassivity into intensive interactivity.
Solve Personal and Union-wide Challenges: The team allows every citizen to run their own, even EU27 team, solve personal situations and create Union-wide benefits at the same time.
Complete the EU Structure: It creates the missing Organi(c)zation level to successfully complement traditional administrative and corporate levels in the EU.
Utilize Human Resources: It offers a new view for using 400 million human resources open minded.
Preserve Culture and Innovation: It is essential to keep your language and culture alive to ensure the richness of views in European innovation.
Enhance Global Leadership: It serves as a clear proof that the EU is a forward-looking pioneer and makes the union an opinion leader on other continents as well.
TeamFinder is the crucial foundation for Personal EU.
It would give each of us EU citizens a secure opportunity to create, with just one click, our own personal, even EU-wide team: one person from as many different EU countries as possible to expand our everyday family lives and strengths.
TeamFinder must be found in a common, central, credible, pleasant and inspiring place for all EU citizens. That place can only be europa.eu.
Current EU programming projects specializing in group search, teamwork, online history, single market, artificial intelligence... are concrete keys in making the TeamFinder come true very soon, and it is worth synchronizing them now.
The biggest obstacle to finding our personal EU connections, despite our enthusiasm, may now be our own blindness to the proximity of a new level of possibilities. Or forgetting old unlearning when realizing something new.
What is essential in TeamFinder is the opportunity to realize the boundary conditions of information security and new possibilities as a single package.
Fortunately, the greetings from the coders tell us that implementing TeamFinder is not too difficult, so the biggest hurdle may be getting the right key people to press the button so that we can all press the Finder button.
In the Personal EU initiative, privacy protection is a central part of the concept, as the project is based on the idea of “human-centered digitalization”. In the vision, privacy is not just a technical feature, but a fundamental right that distinguishes the European model from, for example, American or Chinese platforms.
Here are the key principles by which privacy protection is thought to be implemented:
1. Full user ownership (Self-Sovereignty)
At the heart of the initiative is the idea that the individual owns their own data.
The user decides for themselves what information they feed into the algorithm.
The data is not intended to be sold to third parties (such as advertisers), but only serves to form a team.
2. GDPR compliance “by design”
Since the project is specifically designed for the EU environment, it is bound to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) from the start:
Transparency: The user must know exactly how the TeamFinder algorithm uses their data.
The right to be forgotten: The user must be able to leave the system and delete all their profile data with a single selection.
3. Digital identity (eIDAS and Wallet)
It would be essential to connect the project to the official EU development, which utilizes digital wallets (EU Digital Identity Wallet):
Identification would be strong and secure.
The algorithm could, for example, confirm the user’s citizenship or degree without the service administrator needing to see the actual original documents.
4. Pseudonymous matchmaking
In theory, an algorithm can do the matching and team formation in a protected environment:
A person’s real name or contact details are only revealed to other team members after a “match” has taken place and the user has given their explicit consent.
5. Countermeasures against surveillance capitalism
Personal EU markets the concept as a safe alternative to the current social media garbage. The goal is to create a closed and secure space where teams of up to 27 people can communicate without fear of data leakage to outsiders.
Please note: As the project is still largely at a conceptual level, many technical details (such as encryption techniques or server architecture) have not yet been publicly defined in their final form.
It is worth considering how the new EU Artificial Intelligence Regulation (AI Act) will affect the use of such algorithms and synchronize this with the official EU wallet, which is currently being tested.
The Personal EU initiative's TeamFinder algorithm is designed to break social bubbles and connect people with mathematical precision. Instead of AI recommending content (like Facebook), it would recommend people to each other.
Key theoretical principles for using the algorithm:
1. A 27-member "Mini-Europe"
The ultimate goal of the algorithm is to automatically form teams with one representative from each EU country.
Objective: To create a miniature community where the diversity of Europe is present in everyday interactions.
How it works: The AI searches for 27 people from a huge crowd who complement each other.
2. Value-based Matching
Unlike traditional dating apps, TeamFinder doesn’t focus on looks, but on deeper compatibility:
Life Values: The algorithm analyzes user-entered information about values, ethical views, and interests.
Skills and Needs: The AI seeks to find people for the team who have mutually supportive skills (e.g., one is an inventor, another an organizer, a third a communicator).
3. Echo Chamber Breaker
The algorithm is designed to work the opposite of commercial algorithms:
Coincidence and Contrast: It doesn’t just connect like-minded people, but brings together people from different cultural backgrounds but with similar goals.
Bridge-type AI: The AI acts as a “translator” and a bridge, helping people who speak different languages and think differently to find common ground.
4. Automatic team formation
According to the theory, AI does the heavy lifting, i.e. massive data processing:
A citizen only needs to define their own "personal profile" (Personal EU status).
The algorithm runs a continuous analysis and suggests: "Here is your European team for the next year".
In short: the Personal EU TeamFinder AI is a tool that turns "EU bureaucracy" into a personal network. It transforms statistical probability into human encounters.
europa.eu should be the European Union's website for 450 million people: a meeting place for the EU's political, public and private sectors and citizens, coordinated by the European Commission, and a place to store and find relevant content, big and small, including the new TeamFinder.
The key challenge for Personal EU is to quickly grow europa.eu from a few million users to tens and hundreds of millions: a more meaningful "living room of the EU" than, for example, Facebook, which has 250 million monthly active users. By organising and updating europa.eu as a competitor to the world of social media, which now frustratingly consumes a huge amount of development resources of EU citizens, it would become a clear winner. Commercial communications, which users crave and are published with consent, also fit into the framework.
In February 2026, Gemini AI was asked how the content of europa.eu is now divided into 1) citizen challenges 2) entrepreneurship challenges 3) governance challenges 4) policy challenges, considering the daily use of citizens? Not forgetting that the roles of "private individuals" are almost invariably also linked to the future of the other three Ps.
The AI answered::
"No official percentage breakdown between the four categories has been published, but based on the content and priorities of the Europa.eu website, information related to citizens' lives (such as rights and work) covers around 35%, support for entrepreneurship and the internal market 25%, policy and strategies 25% and governance and decision-making 15% of the content. This estimate is based on a strong focus on practical rights, economic competitiveness and key policy priorities (2024-2029)."
PPPP: The central involvement of the citizen perspective in the development of democracy offers a unique opportunity for the common central square europa.eu to renew its structure and attitude
into a pioneering 4-door meeting place for the political, public, private and personal (PPPP).
Its strength would be the comprehensive and up-to-date technical-economic-social basis of its content.
Activating and inspiring all PPPP components for ideal cooperation would strengthen the self-esteem and success of the Union's citizens and all actors in a shaky global field.
The Elevator is an umbrella concept for value-added traffic between the Politic-Public-Private-Person (PPPP) layers.
For Personal EU teams, it would include many existing functionalities, such as citizens' initiatives, ombudsman services, discussions and project connections with members of the Commission and Parliament and national delegations, as well as team-specific collaboration opportunities between the parties.
The Elevator aggregates, multiplies and clarifies daily PPPP collaboration. It is a precise information and ideas broker that moves between EU developers like an elevator.
would act as a common PPPP knowledge and idea bank that breathes in and out, encourages insights and ensures a high-quality development continuum.
It is also responsible for the common tools of the EU teams and PPPP collaboration, such as "Elevator", "Understander", "Voter", "Projector" and "Seller/Buyer".
Developing EU life in an internationalizing world is a wonderful, versatile technical-economic-social opportunity, for which you already have the keys to success in your school knowledge. Most likely, other members of your EU-wide team are hesitant about their communication skills, just like you, and will be pleasantly surprised when communication flows easily in the spirit of learning together.
Personal EU teams can influence Union affairs, even if they are made up of individuals, through the following mechanisms:
Providing a Union-wide perspective: The EU Commission and other bodies would value Personal EU teams because they would provide a Union-wide perspective of insight, coming directly from citizens.
Creating a new interaction: TeamFinder gives every citizen a Union-wide “you-centric” Personal EU peer team. This team will have access to new collaborative tools that open up Politic-Public-Private-Person (PPPP).
Strengthening people-centric action: The Personal EU force plays a complementary role in the Union's people-centric way of acting.
Creating a new PPPP interaction point: The Personal EU address (europa.eu) would be updated and structured into an inspiring technical, economic and social meeting point for everyone through four main entrances (Politic - Public - Private - Person).
For years at school we have studied in groups information related to international everyday life: history, geography, religions... languages. Communication technology and people online offer us today a great opportunity for international interaction. Are we sure that we have understood what practical personal opportunities we ourselves have to continue our growth across borders in our everyday lives?
On social media, EU citizens spend more and more time on topics that interest them, but are mostly just intermediaries in the interaction of larger interests – not builders of their own lives. It would be reasonable for our essential EU level to offer you a meaningful, Union-wide daily forum centered on YOU.
Unfortunately, the interest in voting in the European Parliament elections is low today. Half of us are abstaining from voting. The challenge that citizens pose to MEPs is even lower.
How to make us understand our own relevance in creating our tomorrow?
Home ventilation may not be the first topic of conversation with friends in the EU, but perhaps it should be, because we have a lot of complementary knowledge in different cultures - not only for managing our own health problems, but also for successful joint innovations:
Moisture and mold damage: Insufficient ventilation increases indoor humidity, which creates a favorable environment for mold growth. Mold releases spores and toxins that cause respiratory symptoms, allergies and aggravate asthma.
Dry indoor air: Especially in winter, over-efficient ventilation or lack of heat recovery can make indoor air too dry. This irritates mucous membranes, eyes, and skin, and increases the risk of catching the flu.
Draughtiness and uneven heat: Unbalanced ventilation or incorrectly positioned air intakes and exhaust vents can cause unpleasant drafts and temperature fluctuations, which reduce living comfort and can increase exposure.
Indoor air pollutants: Dust, chemicals (e.g. from building materials) and house dust mites that accumulate in indoor air due to insufficient ventilation can cause headaches, fatigue and allergic reactions.
Take a look at images using artificial intelligence that visualize uneven temperature zones, where cool air (blue) settles to the floor, causing drafts, and humid or stale air stagnates in certain areas.
A simple measurement also shows indications of possible mold growth or high dust levels, highlighting health risks for residents.
Based on your own health problems, define what a smooth and controlled airflow would look like (e.g. with arrows), where fresh air spreads evenly throughout the living space and is removed efficiently, without drafts or stagnant air.
Describe how balanced ventilation (e.g. with heat recovery) should remove moisture and pollutants, creating a health-promoting and pleasant indoor climate.
Human rights and democracy are not self-evident in the current world situation. As citizens of the European Union, our individual freedom is more secure than that of most people in the world. However, the direction of global development today is not self-evident. It may well depend on our personal example.
In light of our enlightened information society and our online literacy, it is a wonder that Europeans have not yet created their own Union-wide teams on a large scale to enrich the content of democracy in their everyday lives and to play their part in leading the way in building a life of dignity.
From the point of view of the EU itself, the meaningful interplay of the life force of the Union's almost 500 million people is an essential part of the realization of succes
As a basic right, the EU offers every citizen, in addition to country-specific citizenship, personal EU citizenship with its essential benefits and challenges.
You may feel that when you are only one of 450 million in the EU, you have to settle for passivity. Such sentiment has led to half of Union voters not voting at all - leaving their fate dangerously up to chance.
What if you thought about it this way: with your personal EU thinking, you are more than one in 450 million. You are one of 27 - and at the same time much larger and, thanks to the strength of your team, more capable of achieving Union-wide achievements.
Creating a joint Union-wide business chain or joint venture is also very close to the idea of Personal EU. (EU small company with less than 10 employees / 2 M€, SME with less than 50 employees / 10 M€.)
And you are qualified for it: Your home and your children are longer-term activities than most companies.
What would be a more effective way to gather partners from all over Europe than to have the whole suitable team sign up on your screen every day instead of frustrating search trips.
To be successful, the European Union needs a large number of new EU-wide business ideas and strategies - and above all factors - that are ready for implementation.
Union-wide everyday life! It is possible and you deserve it. It is beneficial for you to progress through all the levels to make it happen quickly.
We citizens have our own central representation in the European Union organization in the form of the EU Parliament, which is elected by direct personal citizens' elections.
To make the idea of the Parliament a reality
- make sure you vote in the European Parliament elections (50% did not vote last time)
- also encourage the MEPs elected between elections to focus on their election promises. (Without your feedback, monitoring the interests of citizens is easily blurred among other political interests.)
Check out the personaleu.eu website and see how a Union-wide or smaller Euroteam can easily enrich your everyday life and strengthen the entire Union.
The EU sphere of life is a fascinatingly rich and multidimensional entity in terms of its cultures, achievements, and people, where every new, everyday encounter across borders can produce valuable, even surprising, results and organizations for the betterment of our common tomorrow.
In our unstable world situation, the rapid spread of new Union teams could clearly strengthen the Union's ability to cooperate and its global weight as an operating model.
personaleu.eu describes the role of you and other key players in the era of Union-wide teams.
Like the international networks of representatives, we EU citizens could, with a secure application created for us, have our own Personal EU team, which includes from each country that one person whose contact surface with the essential challenges is most similar to our own.
Personal EU teams must have tools to help them communicate with each other in hobbies, everyday situations, entrepreneurship...
EU's common challenge is to immediately implement a good Personal EU team program for its citizens with key tools and a secure Union-wide TeamFinder as a central part of the program.
Personal EU teams have excellent conditions to quickly grow into a general EU citizen's basic tool and prove their relevance as a found missing organizational level - and as a complementary partner of other Union-wide actor levels.
Personal EU’s role in the local and regional innovation system is to motivate and activate citizens to be in a new way union-widely self-organized when solving their personal 24/7/365 problems and turning them into victories and benefits for themselves and their public/private neighborhood.
In the future, the development of the Personal EU era will naturally be the responsibility of the European Parliament, which we ourselves have chosen as our guardian, which itself is a living example of functioning Personal EU teams. With our voting choices in the EU parliamentary elections, we can also ensure that the right people are responsible for the development of our new cooperation tools.
For the union’s member states the future of national languages is a question of life or death. The Personal EU concept is proud of every single European language – and sees a future European “anylanguage-to-anylanguage” translation/interpretation system development to be extremely essential for making the “European Dream Society” come true. Now the union’s innovation systems waste a power of 200 million citizens who can not communicate (not to mention innovate) in any language union-widely with each others.
Personal EU is like a joint venture in which each citizen of the Union owns one share. However, other EU-wide actors who benefit from the whole can participate in the development of operations by financing the parts necessary for the creation and maintenance of the network and its tools.
Citizens' EU self-esteem and the broadening of their perspectives are only created by continuous purposeful actions. In connection with the renewal of the EU passport, the Union e-mail given to everyone firstname.surname@maa.eu would also give an opportunity for a safer Union-wide development of cooperation.
The Personal EU service, which operates on the EU's own website and central social media, is easily a whole of up to a million different international teams. It is also suitable to act as an essential complement to the EU's traditional organizations and to promote joint success.
The team is much more than your EU. It's the same for everyone else on the team as well. When needed new safe connections will be opened so that the team members can network with each other everyday connections, too. This brings more and more new people safely to the background of the team: friends, supporters, buyers, customers... Union-wide and why not globally if that's what you need.
Personal EU thinking develops the information society towards a more humane and life-centered era. This means good news for you and the traditional union-wide levels.
As a citizen of the European Union, you have the opportunity, the right and the duty to manage your challenges, and to make new interaction friends across borders - a team with common challenges, values, and expertise.
Your Personal EU team would serve as your inspiring Union-wide "home nest", a living example of a whole new kind of Union-wide self-esteem.
Thanks to Union-wide team tools and citizen challenges, Personal EU would be an "organiczation" layer complementing the traditional levels of governance: perhaps the best and most natural thing that could happen to the digital decade of the Union in citizen-centricity.
Public and private union-wide organizations would have the opportunity to become more people-oriented in cooperation with the new complementary Personal EU citizen level.
With the help of current online tools, you can activate real resources and start your experiment even today: Find your team among current EU friends and start interacting as a team with common challenges. This would be your early bird step toward a total solution.
Creating a Personal EU TeamFinder is very essential for the development and success of the Union. The Union should open an open development and trial version as soon as possible, and implement it officially as a standard part of the europa.eu front page during this decade.
The EU should adopt the Personal EU concept to be an official part of its future PPPP collaboration (Politic. Public. Private. Person.)
Helping in internatWhen national companies expand their operations to other countries of the Union, it is useful to involve a Personal EU team, which represents customer potential, right from the beginning of the process - both to clarify the overall picture and to coordinate the different stages by country.
It is essential for Europeans to cherish their cultural and linguistic richness for several reasons, and Union-wide daily teams can be an important tool in achieving this goal:
Cultural diversity: The European region is rich in cultural and linguistic diversity, and nurturing it promotes social cohesion and strengthens identity. Teamwork between people from different cultural backgrounds can promote intercultural understanding and dialogue.
Language skills and learning: Union-wide teams offer the opportunity to learn and use a language in practical situations. Developing language skills is important in both personal and professional life.
Innovation and creativity: Team members from different cultural backgrounds can bring different perspectives and ideas. This can lead to innovations that are only possible in a diverse environment.
Social cohesion: Teamwork can create new networks and relationships, which supports cultural exchange and cooperation. This, in turn, can strengthen communities and promote social cohesion.
Sharing resources: Union-wide teams can share best practices and experiences from different regions, which helps to develop and strengthen the cultural and linguistic richness of the region.
Self-esteem and pride: When people are actively involved in promoting their own cultures and languages, it increases their self-esteem and pride in their own identity. This is especially important for younger generations.
Overall, Union-wide teams can be an effective way to strengthen the cultural and linguistic richness of Europeans, especially in a globalizing world where it is important to preserve and nurture local specificities.
Collaboration between similar-minded individuals adds new activity to their roles as consumers and as producers: They inspire each others to buy together specific products and services. They find very soon their individual roles and common challenges as result units of unique union-wide business ideas.
Personal EU teams are also perfectly suited as union-wide test groups or idea teams of companies and public organizations, because they know how to take into account the effects of cultural differences, e.g. to the requirements of the products and their communication - and can also give quick feedback on special local situations.
### 1\. PPPP Principles (Attitude Program)
These principles define a new attitude of interaction between traditional organizations (Politic, Public, Private) and the basic unit of organi(c)zation (Person/TeamFinder team):
* **Organi(c)zation is the Basic Cooperation Unit:** The Union-wide Personal EU team is now seen as an independent and recognized "basic unit of organi(c)zation". This shifts the focus from the passive citizen (target) to the active, interactive facilitator and team (partner).
* **Interactive Facilitation:** The goal is a continuous, enriching daily experience that helps teams to apply what they have learned and to realize their ideal life mission in the Union.
* **Multicultural Empowerment:** The collaboration is based on the fact that Personal EU is the key to empowering multicultural interaction.
### 2\. Practical Approaches (Implementation Mechanisms)
These are the practical tools and platforms on which the collaboration is organized:
* **Collaboration Platform:** **europa.eu** is upgraded to become a technical, economic and social meeting point for inspiring Politic - Public - Private - Person (PPPP) interaction for all.
* **Content Distribution:** **P4Elevator** acts as a mechanism that makes all current deliverables (projects, initiatives, career opportunities) at all levels easily accessible and promoted to TeamFinder teams.
* **Career-Opening Collaborative Tools:** PPPP interaction provides teams with new career-opening collaborative tools.
* **Accreditation and Assurance:** **The Joint EU PPPP Academy** strengthens and ensures the role of Personal EU in the Union's people-centred approach.
Here is a proposal for PPPP cooperation principles and practical approaches that emerge from the TeamFinder role:
1. PPPP Cooperation Principles (Attitude Program)
These principles define a new attitude of interaction between traditional organizations (Political, Public, Private) and the basic unit of organization (Person/TeamFinder team):
The organization is the Basic Unit: The Union-wide Personal EU team is now seen as an independent and recognized "basic unit of organization". This shifts the focus from the passive citizen (target) to the active, interactive facilitator and team (partner).
Interactive Facilitation: The goal is a continuous, enriching daily experience that helps teams to apply what they have learned and to realize their ideal life mission in the Union.
Multicultural Empowerment: The collaboration is based on the fact that Personal EU is the key to empowering multicultural interaction.
2. Practical Approaches (Implementation Mechanisms)
These are the practical tools and platforms on which the collaboration is organised:
Collaboration Platform: europa.eu is upgraded to become a technical, economic and social meeting point for inspiring Politic - Public - Private - Person (PPPP) interaction for all.
Content Distribution: P4Elevator acts as a mechanism that makes all current deliverables (projects, initiatives, career opportunities) at all levels easily accessible and promoted to TeamFinder teams.
Career-Opening Shared Tools: PPPP interaction provides teams with new career-opening shared tools.
Accreditation and Assurance: The Common EU PPPP Academy strengthens and ensures the role of Personal EU in the people-centred approach of the Union.
This model emphasizes the new role of the Person party (TeamFinder teams, i.e. the basic organizational unit) as an equal actor.
1. P4Elevator's Contribution to Joint Development
The role is to act as a continuous, curated and easily accessible bank of interaction content and opportunities
What P4Elevator Can Bring to Joint Development For Administration Policy Feedback: real-time, citizen-centric (TeamFinder teams) qualitative and quantitative feedback on the impacts of policy initiatives and legislation at the grassroots level.
For the public sector Highlight real, unresolved problems and new service needs expressed by TeamFinder teams that require public sector resourcing or new openings. |
For the private sector: Highlight the market niches, unsolved challenges and needs identified among citizens/teams that create new glocal EU businesses.
For teams: Highlight the teams' own initiatives, development ideas and expertise that can be implemented locally or at EU level.
They focus on effectively maintaining and utilizing the new PPPP cooperation surface on a mutually agreed cost basis:
Politic (Administration, Decision-making)
Task: Developing an Inclusive Legislative Process: Create mechanisms by which the feedback data produced by P4Elevator (from the Person party) is systematically utilized in the evaluation of legislation and the preparation of new initiatives.
Objective: Positioning of europa.eu: Ensure that the main EU website is truly structured, starting from the four main entrances, as a meeting place that inspires everyone in line with Personal EU (PPPP).
Public (Public sector, Implementation)
Task: Piloting Interactive Public Services: Develop and pilot public services that are specifically designed based on the needs obtained through the Personal EU TeamFinder teams.
Goal: Ensuring Digital Connectivity: Ensure that public sector projects offered through P4Elevator (such as Digital Decade projects) are technically and socially accessible to TeamFinder teams.
Private Sector, Markets and Innovation
Task: Creating a Pioneering PPPP Ecosystem: Develop new product and service ideas based on needs identified by P4Elevator, while creating collaborative tools for teams that open up new PPPP careers.
Goal: Creating Global EU Companies: Launch development programs where Personal EU teams act as multicultural, Union-wide innovation teams to create new glocal EU companies.
Person Teams, Organizational Basic Unit)
Task: Enriching Daily Interaction: Utilizes the peer support of the Personal EU TeamFinder team and the content of P4Elevator to create a continuously enriching daily experience so that the individual can apply what they have learned to achieve their ideal life mission.
Objective: Strengthening the Common EU PPPP Academy: Acts as an active player that strengthens and ensures the role of Personal EU in the Union's people-centered approach by participating in the Academy's activities.
Implementing the Personal EU initiative on europa.eu could have several consequences at different levels:
a) Credibility of the European Commission
Increasing transparency: The initiative could improve the transparency of the European Commission's decision-making process, giving citizens a better understanding of how decisions are made. This could increase the Commission's credibility.
Citizens' trust: If the Commission can demonstrate that it has listened to citizens' views and incorporated them into its decision-making, it would increase its credibility. This could reduce the critical thinking that is required in decision-making.
Problem-solving capacity: Successfully increasing participation could lead to more effective and timely solutions to problems that concern citizens, thus strengthening the Commission's role as a problem-solver.
b) The European Union
Strengthening democracy: Increasing citizen participation could make EU decision-making more democratic and transparent, which could increase citizens' trust in the EU, i.e. increase its legitimacy.
Increased community: The initiative to provide a European identity and community among the EU, which could lead to deeper integration and cooperation on EU-level issues.
Reduced political tensions: If citizens feel that their voices are heard, it could reduce the impact of populist movements and national tensions among the EU, which in turn would support EU unity.
c) The EU's position in the world
As a global example: A successful Personal EU initiative could raise the EU's position as a global example of democratic values and citizen participation in governance processes, which could have an impact.
Effectiveness in relations between the EU: A stronger and more democratic EU would have more weight in participating in negotiations and decision-making, which could improve its ability to deliver its own values and policies on the ground.
Global cooperation projects: Improved credibility and legitimacy could facilitate cooperation with other international organizations and states, which could lead to more effective global political and economic projects.
In summary, the implementation of a personal EU initiative could strengthen the credibility of the European Commission, improve the internal cohesion of the EU and increase its global influence and status. Of course, successful implementation requires effective and committed implementation at different levels.
• finding the inspiring union-wide “someone-like-me-from-each-union-country” reality
• finding more and more daily level solutions to essential issues/problems
• finding the idea of qualified buying together (because of similar needs)
• finding the idea of doing/selling together (because of similar expertise and synergy requirements and the fact that “we are an union-wide company”).
• finding corporations as friends (because they need precisely right good union-wide skills and entrepreneurship as resources – and as target groups).
• finding the EU with its all organization levels as a friend (because the union loves and needs challenging people who can think, work and innovate union-widely in good understanding).
• finding their role and team friends in the outer world (for making EU “the worlds most advanced innovation society").
a Personal EU “Comparer”, illustrating local national facts by showing them together with corresponding facts from other EU countries. This is meant to work as discussion opener for team members from different countries by opening new closer views and comparison opportunities to “foreign” subjects.
a Personal EU “Voter”, allowing team members to vote about whatever subject and visually presenting the detailed structure of the summary. Time stamped results could with permission of the teams be saved in an union-wide “opinion bank” for future needs. The result profiles in bigger scale have immediate use as route marks for many kinds of union-wide projects/processes on all ENoLL levels.
a Personal EU “Projecter”, analyzing the expertise descriptions of the team members and visualizing a work organization where common challenges are described as the team’s “union-wide business idea”, and suggesting to each team member a natural and profiled role when running common operations.
a Personal EU “Team Buyer/Seller”, to be based on cost sharing/profit agreements between the team members, and to be used as a banking system when buying and selling whatever together. This system including a good visual deal choice function should be developed in collaboration with European banking groups.
a Personal EU “Elevator” for innovation traffic to/from the floors of the European Parliament, Council, Commission, Member states, Business, EnoLL, the Living Labs. The Elevator is meant to be an input/output shortcut when presenting essentials or receiving them.
a Personal EU “Academy” for making EnoLL’s all PPPP levels understand and develop the collaboration of a Personal EU era. As a decentralized organicsation the Academy could guarantee to all EnoLL individuals high class union-wide (virtual and physical) courses and meetings.
Congratulations to your concept. It is very human and ci. I suggested to Uppsala University and Lulea University (Sweden) to concentrate to your message in a new eGovernement proposal within FP6 IST RTD program.. I will return back soon how we can progress this idea in Hungary..."

"Palaan aikaisempiin keskusteluihimme mainiosta Personal EU-ideasta. Olen edelleen yhtälailla viehättynyt sen perusideasta, tuoda eurooppalainen yhteisöllisyys kansalaisten ja yksilöiden tasolle. Monissa maissa havaittavissa oleva EU-skeptisyys ja suorastaan vastaisuus selittynee tietysti monilla tekijöillä, mutta vähäisin ei liene ilmiön vaikeus ja byrokraattinen institutionaalisuus. Ikään kuin Euroopan unionia rakennettaisiin virkamiesten ja poliitikkojen omiin tarpeisiin. Erityisesti unionin laajetessa sitä uhkaa suoranainen vesittyminen, ellei yhteisöllisyyttä ja arjen tasolla tapahtuvaa kanssakäymistä onnistuta tuomaan lähemmäksi yksilöitä, ilman EU:lle niin tyypillisten virallisten instituutioiden säännöstelevää ja valvovaa läsnäoloa. Ideasi toteuttaa tämä uudenlaisin tietoteknisin ratkaisuin on raikas ja sopii erinomaisesti Suomen puheenjohtajakaudelta muistiin jääväksi pysyväksi virstanpylvääksi. Kuten usein uudenlaisten ideoiden kanssa käy, niiden synnyttäjä joutuu tekemään myös suurimman työn toteutuksessa. Toivottavasti olet löytänyt siihen tarvittavan ajan ja resurssit ja toivottavasti myös innovaatioympäristömme rahoittajat ovat oivaltaneet ideasi merkityksen. Olen mielelläni käytettävissä puoltamaan mahdollisia resurssointiesityksiä."

Suomen puheenjohtajuuskaudella pitää tarkastella tietoyhteiskunnan kasvun generaattoreita ja ilmiöitä uudesta näkökulmasta.

Niin EU:n yhtenäisyyden kuin kilpailukyvyn kehittymisen näkökulmasta laaja kielikirjomme on ongelma-alue verrattuna vaikkapa Yhdysvaltoihin."

"Tietoyhteiskunta on mitä suurimmassa määrin henkilökohtaisen vuorovaikutuksen lisäämistä ihmisten kesken nykyaikaisia viestintäteknologioita käyttäen. Samalla avautuu mahdollisuuksia ja tarpeita sekä itse kunkin henkilökohtaiseen kasvuun että uudenlaisten yhteistyömuotojen synnylle. Personal EU hanke on tässä mielessä kaikki hyvän tietoyhteiskuntakehityksen kriteerit täyttävä idea ja kehityshanke. Erityisen hyvää siinä on mielestäni kansainvälisen (tai toisin sanoin EU-kotimaisen) vuorovaikutuksen lisäämisen idea suoraan ihmisten kesken. Se tekee hankkeesta konkreettisen ja samalla kuitenkin laajakantoisia poliittisia päämääriä edistävän."

"Personal EU-konsepti on käyttökelpoinen tapa lähentää EU-kansalaisia toisiinsa aivan ruohonjuuritasolla. Projektin vaatima tekninen infrastruktuuri on pääosin olemassa. Tarvitaan vain käynnistävä voima, joka saisi tiedon asiasta leviämään laajemmin EU-kansalaisten parissa ja innostaisi heitä lisäämään kanssakäymistään.
Uudet teknologiat luovat koko ajan uusia ja monipuolisia mahdollisuuksia henkilökohtaisten yhteyksien hoitamiseen."

"Aamusella Google Alerts ilmoitti 'Personal EU' keskusteluista -IST2006 -konferenssissa.
Selailtuni aiheeseen liittyviä sivustoja ja blogeja kiinnostuin aiheesta yhä enemmän, ja mieleeni nousikin monia ideoita lähinnä politiikan tutkimuksen näkökulmasta. Tiedustelisinkin, olisiko jollakin tavalla mahdollista liittyä testiryhmän toimintaan, tarjota tiedonhaku-apua tai viedä ideoitanne eteenpäin täällä EUI:ssä? Täällä on noin viidensadan talous- yhteiskunta- ja oikeustieteilijöiden joukko kaikista Euroopna maista, ja idean esittely täällä jonkinalaisen luennon, aivoriihen tai työpajan muodossa olisi hyvinkin mahdollista."

"Seurattuani useamman vuoden ajan Mainostoimisto Takapiru Oy:n Kurt Linderoosin yltyviä ponnisteluja käänteentekevän Personal EU -konseptin toteutumiseksi ja unioninlaajuiseksi julkistamiseksi Suomen EU-puheenjohtajuuskaudella suosittelen mielelläni asianosaisille sekä määrätietoisia ponnisteluja tavoitteeseen pääsemiseksi että Linderoosin edelläkävijyyden ja jatkotyön arvostamiseksi alkurahoituksen mahdollistamilla keinoilla. Hän on henkilökohtaisesti tehnyt merkittävää työtä suomalaisten verkkopalveluiden kehittämiseksi ja edelläkävijäkäyttäjänä, alkaen Suomen ensimmäisistä telefax-laitteista, ja jo 1980-luvulla Elisa sähköpostista ja Infotel Tietoverkosta. Hän on soveltanut Tietoverkkoja omassa ammatissaan, itsensä, asiakaskuntansa ja ystäviensä parhaaksi, ja ottanut ennakkoluulottomasti käyttöön erilaisia uusia verkkoviestinnän välineitä."

"Tutustuttuani Kurre Linderoosin esittämään Personal EU -ideaan ja seurattuani hänen työtään ajatuksen toteutumiseksi Euroopan unionin laajuisena toivon omasta puolestani, että hanke saisi toteutumistansa varten riittävät rahalliset resurssit. Jo 1990-luvun loppuvuosina totesin EU Agora -projektin puitteissa, että Linderoosilla on vahva tuntuma ja vastuullinen ote kansainväliseen ICT-osaajien verkostoitumiseen. Myös yhteistyömme uuden bisneskulttuurin rakentamisessa Espoon kauppakamarin puitteissa on ollut hedelmällistä. Itse Personal EU -konsepti unionin uutena toimintatasona on sopivan haasteellinen sosiaalinen ja teknologiaratkaisu Lissabonin strategian ja unionin tietoyhteiskuntaohjelman vauhdittamiseksi - ja erityisesti sen Suomen EU-puheenjohtajakaudelle 2006 kohdistuvat haasteet kannustuksen arvoinen tie nostaa maamme kansainvälistä painoarvoa tällä saralla."

"EU:n perustuslakia koskevien kansanäänestyksien yhteydessä on tullut esille huoli siitä, että EU on liian etäällä ihmisistä. Ranskalainen on huolissaan siitä, että valta häneen suoraan vaikuttavista asioista siirtyy keskitetylle hallintokoneistolle tai siitä, että monikielisessä ja -kulttuurisessa Euroopassa hänen huoliaan ja ajatuksiaan ei oteta huomioon. Samat huolet koskevat tietysti kaikkia eurooppalaisia - myös meitä suomalaisia.
Teknillisessä korkeakoulussa 15.-17.6.2005 järjestettävän kansainvälisen AKRR'05-konferenssin yhteydessä tarkastellaan sitä, millä tavalla voidaan kehittää ihmisläheistä eurooppalaista tietoyhteiskuntaa. Aiheelle on 16.6. omistettu koko päivän sessio, jossa puhujina ovat mukana mm. EU:n komission edustaja Stefano Bertolo, hallituksen tietoyhteiskuntaohjelman johtaja Katrina Harjuhahto-Madetoja, professori Kirsti Lonka Helsingin yliopistosta, sekä johtaja, KTT Seija Kulkki Helsingin Kauppakorkeakoulusta. Tilaisuudessa järjestetään myös aivoriihi, jossa konferenssin osallistujilla on mahdollisuus tuoda esille omia ajatuksiaan ja ideoitaan.
Session yksi lähtökohta on Suomen puheenjohtajuuskaudella 2006 julkistettavaksi kaavailtu Personal EU -aloite. Aloitteen perusajatus on, että kukin voisi valita työ-, kehitys- ja harrastusryhmänsä hengenheimolaisistaan useasta EU-maasta. Innovatiiviset tietotekniset yhteistyövälineet voivat tukea tällaisia tiimejä ja niiden yhteistoimintaa sekä auttaa ihmisiä arvostamaan ja ymmärtämään toinen toistensa ajatuksia yli kielimuurien. Euroopan unionin nopea kehitys yhdenmukaistaa tehokkaasti, mutta voi uhata pieniä ja vähän isompiakin kieliä. Kuitenkin kielet ja niiden taustalla olevat kulttuurit ovat rikas innovaatioiden lähde.
Oppivien järjestelmien huippututkijat kokoontuvat kansainväliseen ja monitieteiseen AKRR'05-konferenssiin esittelemään viimeisimpiä tutkimustuloksia, jotka edesauttavat Personal EU -tyyppisten tavoitteiden toteutumista."

"Kiitokset palavasta viestistäsi, joka todella teki tästä päivästä hiukan erilaisen. Sanat Personal EU sisältävät valtavasti energiaa, itse asiassa saatat olla löytänyt jotain todella merkittävää mutta kuten kaiken energian kanssa on asianlaita, se pitäisi ensin vapauttaa ja sitten valjastaa hyötykäyttöön."

"Lähetän tässä lyhyen perusesittelyn aiheesta Personal EU. Se on kuvaus suomalaisen tietoyhteiskunnan uudesta tilaisuudesta nousta kansainväliseksi edelläkävijäksi konkreettisesti vuoden 2006 toisen vuosipuoliskon aikana - tämä edellyttää valmisteluiden käynnistämistä ja työtä NYT. Idean "isä" Takapiru Oy ja Kurt Linderoos, joka on esitellyt ja testannut Personal EUta jo monille tietoyhteiskunnan päättäjille ja kehittäjille. Nyt olisi meidän aikamme kuulla lisää ja lähteä mukaan toimintaan valitsemallamme tavalla. Asia esitellään 24.8. Suomen EU-presidencyä valmistelevan sihteeristön vetäjälle valtioneuvos Antti Peltomäelle. Olisi hyvä saada EK:n näkemyksistä kuvaa ennen sitä. Olisiko teillä - Hannele ja Jukka - tunnin verran aikaa palaverille aamukahvin merkeissä?"

"Ajatuksesi eurooppalaisten linkkittämisestä on oiva. EU:n sivujen tarjotessa luonnostelemanne kaltaisia palveluja saattaisi vierailijoiden määrä kasvaa rutkasti ja kävijöille tarttua kaikenlaista hyödyllistä tietoa aivan huomaamatta. Eurooppa voisi maanosana todellakin olla näyttämässä esimerkkiä tällaisessa projektissa, joka ei teknisesti, tulkkausjärjestelmää lukuunottamatta, liene mahdoton toteuttaa. Kyseisen kaltaisia palveluita on kuitenkin yksityisten tahojen tarjoamina olemassa niin maksullisina kuin maksuttominakin. Ongelmana taitaa usein olla keskustelun valvonta ei-toivottujen sisältöjen sytntyessä. 25 keskustelijan yhtäaikainen seuraaminen vaatii kuitenkin todella paljon. Ehkä keskustelijoiden määrästä ja käännöspalvelusta tinkimällä projektista tulisi totuttamiskelpoinen Suomen puheenjohtajuussivustoille. Olen keskustellut asiasta ystäväni FiComin toimitusjohtajan Reijo Sventon kanssa. Hän lupasi miettiä jatkokehittelyä ja olla sinuun yhteydessä."

"Kiinnostava aloite. Jotain tällaista varmasti tarvitaan, että yksilötasokin voi kokea motivoitua osallisuutta EU:iin. Nykyinen byrokratian läpitunkema EU:n apparaatti puiteohjelmineen ja rakennerahastoineen ei suosi nopeasta tarpeesta kumpuavaa yhteistoimintaa. Personal EU voisi olla avain siihen, että tietoyhteiskuntaan liittyvä nopeus ja vaivattomuus tulisivat osaksi EU:n mahdollistamaa monipuolista kanssakäymistä oli kyseessä puhtaasti työhön / tieteeseen tai yhtä hyvin harrastus- / kansalaisjäerjestötoimintaan liittyvä tekeminen.
Onnea räjähtävälle hankkeellesi ;-)"

"Hienoa että olet ottanut roolin olla uusien tuulien ennakkoluuloton airut. Olen mukana täysillä sillä näen sieluni silmin nimenomaan cAme tapaisen työkalun esiinmarssin, siis todellisen esiinmarssin. Speksistä saa fiiliksen että visio tasolla asiat ovat hanskassa, sillä tavoite krumeluureineen on esitelty, täytyy sanoa, vastaansanomattomasti. Jos jotain tuossa voisi ehkäpä painottaa, niin tuo yksittäisen kansalaisen roolia voisi / tulisi ehkäpä hieman kirkastaa. Näitä kohtia olisi muutama, teknologian, kansainvälistymisvaatimusten, sukupolvi kysymykset sekä käytännön tarpeen (-eiden) esille otto. Myös EU:n halu jalkautua lähelle kadunmiestä askarruttaa aika monia. Visio piirtää runsaalla pensselillä kuvaa sitä että personal EU on tietoyhteiskuntastrategiaa on the highest level. Juuri näin, mutta olisiko pienen ihmisen näkökulma hieman tarkennettavissa ym. mainituissa kohdissa. Minulla on ainainen pelko siitä että hyvät tavoitteet monesti jäävä hautomoasteelle ilman kunnollista käsitystä siitä mikä on tarve konkretialla ja ratkaisuesimerkkejä esittäen. Nopea viittaus vielä teknologiaan – jos oletamme pääsemme liikkeelle ja unionin www-sivuilla löytyy linkki, joka tarjoaa kollaboraatiopolun. Tekniikan tulee äärimmäisen helppokäyttöinen, linkit tietokantoihin ja –liitteisiin saumatonta, laitetuki laaja, eri tietoliikennenopeudet tuettuja. Eli kuten olemme tehneet cAmen."

"Ensimmäisellä lukemisella avautui vasta hyvä otsikko mutta toisella kolahti jo sisältökin. Tykkään ideasta, sisältöön vielä lisää konkreettisuutta jotta menee helpommin perille. Juuri tämäntapaista ajattelua tarvitaan tietoyhteiskunnan kehityspanoksiksi jotta homma ei kutistu pelkiksi pelilaitteiksi joista ei ole hyötyä muille kuin niiden tekijöille."

"Takapiru Oy:n toimitusjohtaja Kurt Linderoos on saarnannut jo vuosia ideoimastaan Personal EU -konseptista. Nyt konsepti näyttäisi vihdoin saavan tuulta purjeisiinsa. Linderoos arvelee ajan olevan nyt kypsä siihen, että koko unionin kattava yksilötiimien järjestelmä - Personal EU - voisi käytännössä luoda meille eEurope-ohjelman vision mukaisen "maailman valistuneimman tietoyhteiskunnan".Jo 500 miljoonan yksilön yhteisöksi kasvanut Euroopan unioni tarvitsee huomisen ratkaisukseen uuden täydentävän ja tasapainottavan organisaatiotason, euroopanlaajuiset arkipäivän kansalaistiimit, esittää mm. Tietoyhteiskunta .fi'n eEurooppa-osion isänä toiminut Linderoos. Linderoos esittelee Personal EU -konseptin Suomen EU-puheenjohtajuutta 2006 valmistelevan sihteeristön vetäjälle valtioneuvostossa 24 .8. ja peräänkuuluttaa samalla julkisen vallan, elinkeinoelämän, opetusalan ja kansalaistoiminnan avainhenkilöiltä henkistä ja toiminnallista tukea hankkeen toteutumiselle. Aikaa ainutlaatuiseen H-hetkeen, Suomen EU-puheenjohtajuuteen, on enää 677 päivää, muistuttaa Linderoos. Ennen valtioneuvostoa Linderoos kertoo saaneensa konseptilleen kannatusta mm. TKK:n tietotekniikan osastolta, Dipolista, Finprosta, Eteläranta Kympistä, FiComista sekä tietoyhteiskuntaohjelmajohtajalta. Myös eduskunnan puhemies on Linderoosin mukaan rohkaissut häntä jatkamaan asian edistämistä."

"Mietin, mistä päästä pitäisi Personal EU-puuhun kiivetä. Verkostojen muodostamisella pitää yleensä olla yhteinen tarve, teema, joka ryöpsäyttää kommunikoinnin liikkeelle. Viestintä ei ole verkostoissa välttämättä jatkuvaa vaan se tulee tarveryöppyinä. Näitä tarpeita voivat olla esim. yhteinen opiskelu, matkailu, yhteisen julkaisun toimittaminen jne. (kuten sinäkin jo olet luetellut). Kerran käydessäni Arabiemiraateissa eräs opettaja kertoi ideastaan perustaa maailmanlaajuinen lehti, jossa paikalliset koululaiset/opiskelijat olisivat toimittajia. Lehti kertoisi tavallisten ihmisten asioista tavallisten ihmisten vinkkelistä. Tällä hetkellähän elämme globaalien uutisten aikaa, jolloin näemme maailman vain CNN:n ja Reutersin suodattimien läpi. Samat uutiset leviävät ympäri maailmaa ja ne kertovat mitä tapahtuu suurissa kaupungeissa ja kriisipesäkkeissä. Pienten paikkakuntien uutiset eivät läpäise. Yksi ajatusmalli Personal EU:sta voisi olla nettijulkaisujen toimittajaverkosto, jossa tehtäisiin uutisia tavallisten ihmisten näkökulmasta. Jokainen toimittajaverkosto voisi keskittyä johonkin yhteiseen teemaan, joka voisi olla harrastukseen tai matkailuun tai luontoon tai opiskeluun tai ruokaan tai peleihin tai ... liittyvä. Näin muodostuisi EU:n laajuinen Personal-julkaisu, joka sisältäisi tavallisten ihmisten tarinoita tavallisille ihmisille. Toimittajaverkostot kommunikoisivat aktiivisesti uusia sisältöjä suunnitellessaan. Lisäksi tarvittaisiin kääntäjäverkostoja (ei välttämättä robotteja). Aina porukassa olisi useamman kielen taitajia tai opiskelijoita, jotka kääntäisivät tarinoita ja juttuja. Pioneeriryhmät voitaisiin ottaa nuorista - koululaisista ja opiskelijoista. Tämä voisi olla uusi ja tehokas tapa opiskella vuorovaikutteisesti uusia yhteisiä asioita, uutta viestintää, erilaisia kulttuureja sekä kansainvälistyä. Ja kun käännämme tämän opiskeluelementin aikuisille, silloin saamme mukaan yrittäjät, yritysten työntekijät, ikääntyvät jne."

In their 2024–2029 strategic program, the EU leaders set three priority areas to guide the work of the EU institutions:
Note: Institutions work towards various other institutions according to the directive. Since 450 million citizens, i.e. the EU, are not an institution, instructions concerning citizens intended as stimulating challenges are easily filtered in the institutional chains into regulations in accordance with the institutions' own interests.
1. Free and democratic Europe
- fostering European values in the EU
- compliance with EU values worldwide,
Note: Nothing to note. On the contrary: More encouraging common Union-wide tools and content for every citizen's daily life!
2. A strong and secure Europe
- ensures consistent and influential external action
- Strengthening EU security and defense and
- Protecting EU citizens
- preparing for a bigger and stronger union
- following a comprehensive approach to migration and border control
Note: The lasting external impact of democratic values is not achieved by a war of aggression against outsiders. The best way to win an expanding circle of friends is by cooperating with our citizens' values (together with diplomacy and the defense forces).
We have our limits both in terms of terrain and operations, as well as data protection. Let's keep them encouraging citizens to sustainable positive development!
The growth of the Union means both the accession of new member states and strong migration from growth areas. Constructive adaptation and understanding new perspectives are the keys to our development.
3. A prosperous and competitive Europe
- Strengthening the competitiveness of the EU
Note: The collective power of the EU's cultural riches and the quality of free know-how can, with common communication tools, produce a decisively larger number of significant EU-wide startups, business chains and SMEs capable of global performance.
