We came a long way over the sea,
to meet at the Royal Academy,
‘ network of networks’ of humanities,
make me an island in diversities,
Ettore Deodato had a story to tell,
Wim Blockmans, Gretty Mirdal as well,
It’s all about strategies and ict,
Lifelong learning is made for you and me,
And the Queen Mother is taking a look,
We will meet again in a white book
In the name of Erasmus and Socrates,
Thematic Networks in Humanities,

In Archipelago life is so fine
constructing the future at the right time,
Archipelago makes you feel rich,
islands are linked by a new bridge.
Passengers in time looking for a frame
That’s why we’re calling Europe’s name

ACUME, CiCe, CLIOHnet and ENHSA,
ENOTHE, EpsNet-POLIS, ERIC and ATHENA
GENIE, HERODOT and don’t you forget
INTER-ARTES, LEFIS and HumanitarianNet,
PhoenixTN, Polifonia, TNP3,
Archipelago is made for you and me

A multiple choice identity,
A peaceful and tolerant society,
There is something in the air,
Happy shiny people, it’s all right Clare,
Quality of life for student and child
We are all born to be wild
Kathy, Laura and Anne-Marie,
‘ a small group’ sailing the sea,
After Human Plus 2004
The future will not be like before
Please Captain Deodato bring us some wine,
We hadn’t had that spirit here since 1969

In Archipelago life is so fine
constructing the future at the right time,
Archipelago makes you feel rich,
islands are linked by a new bridge.
