Dear friends and colleagues,

While our AEC-SMS project for Creative Europe has entered its final phase, we have already started up preparations for a next project application. In our February meeting, AEC's Ex Com has had basic discussions for prioritising topics which will be of major importance for HME in a long term perspective. After the Council has made its contribution, we will be ready for integrating some of these key topics in the new project application before the official Call for applications is expected to be launched, by the end of April.

Let us hope that AEC once again will succeed in the competition for project support from Creative Europe. In any case, these discussions are fundamental for updating our agenda, organisational structure and strategic plan which will be presented to the AEC Annual Congress and General Assembly in November.

AEC President
