Stefan Gies, AEC CEO

We ask for more visibility for Arts, Culture and Education in the new European Commission

 

The 2019 Annual Meeting for International Relations Coordinators took place at the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague from 19 to 22 September under the title "The Pink Elephant: Reflections on the Future to Transform the Present", in the framework of the AEC-Strengthening Music in Society Project supported by the Creative Europe Programme. 

 

30 September is the deadline to apply for becoming a member of the AEC Council. Potential candidates should be informed that applications are to be sent only in one of AEC official languages (English, French or German) and that Council members will be reimbursed for expenses connected to Council meetings.

 

You can help us create a positive impact in your institutions and in the Higher Music Education sector by letting AEC better know what you need. Please fill in the AEC Survey on Publications and their Translations by 10 October.
 

 

The second LATIMPE Learning & Teaching platform takes place on 13-14 May 2020 at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Vienna. Deadline for submission of abstracts is 10 December.

 

A bit more than one month to go before AEC Annual Congress and General Assembly in Turin, where Council elections will take place.
In the meanwhile, do not forget to register for the IMZ Academy 2019 “The complete performer of the future – Embracing media skills in music education”, co-organised by AEC and taking place in Vienna on 29-30 October.

Jef Cox, Project Coordinator since 2015, had just left AEC Office to join the Quality Assurance Office of the KU Leuven University in Belgium. Jef was mainly serviced to MusiQuE, where he worked as Policy and Review Officer. As part of his activities for AEC, Jef supported the work of two AEC Working Groups: on Learning Outcomes (2015-2017) and on Diversity, Identity and Inclusiveness (2017-2019).

Nina Scholtens, who had joined the AEC team as intern in February 2018, and worked as Communication, Advocacy and Project Coordinator since July 2018, has now moved to Dublin to pursue a Masters in Cultural Policy and Arts Management.

We are very thankful to Jef and Nina for their dedication to and hard work for AEC and for being wonderful colleagues.

Since 1st September, Gabriele Rosana has joined the team as Advocacy and Communication Officer. We wish him a warm welcome and a good start!
