Bratislava Buzzes with Creative Energy: First Joint EUROSAI SG1 & SG2 Meeting Kicks Off Strategic Period 2024–2030
April 10, 2025
EUROSAI marked a milestone on 5–6 March 2025 in Bratislava, Slovak Republic, by organising its first-ever joint in-person meeting of Strategic Goal 1 and Strategic Goal 2 project leaders. Traditionally held separately and in virtual formats, the SGs meetings were brought together for the first time to celebrate the launch of the new EUROSAI Strategic Period 2024–2030.
The event gathered over 50 participants from 24 EUROSAI member countries, offering a unique opportunity to bring the community closer – not just to the organisation, but also to each other. SGs project leaders were gathered under one roof to network, share their activities, spark new collaborations, dream up fresh ideas for the future and reimagine what EUROSAI can be.
What truly set this meeting apart from typical international gatherings was its creative twist. Every part of the agenda – from formal sessions to informal breaks – was designed with imagination in mind. The meeting was kicked off with a gallery-style showcase of ongoing projects, where presenters-project leaders had just five minutes to shine. The meeting space turned into an exhibition of ideas and achievements.
Participants of the meeting rolled up their sleeves to exchange practical insights and surface real-time challenges faced across SG1 and SG2 workstreams during the brainstorming session on “The Strategic Goals – challenges, needs and project development“. The session not only sparked valuable peer-to-peer learning but also laid the groundwork for potential future collaborations and concrete next steps.
Ice-breakers and social experiments encouraged participants to connect in new ways, while “Insight shots” – short, high-impact talks – injected inspiration throughout the day. Workshop sessions pushed creativity even further, inviting attendees to design mood boards and visually shape the future of EUROSAI and its auditors.
The meeting was not only about exchanging information – it was about energising the EUROSAI community. From exploring common challenges to sharing bold ideas for innovation, participants left Bratislava with renewed motivation and a stronger sense of connection.
This gathering laid the groundwork for the years ahead, setting the tone for a Strategic Period that promises to be collaborative, visible, and future-facing. A heartfelt thank you goes out to all who made this landmark event possible.
The meeting was organised by the Strategic Goal 1 co-leaders (SAI Lithuania and SAI Germany) and the Strategic Goal 2 co-leaders (SAI Sweden and SAI Poland), and hosted by the SAI Slovak Republic
