About AESOP - Association of European Schools of Planning

AESOP was established in 1987 in Belgium as an international association with scientific, artistic and educational purposes and operates according to its Charter.

With almost 200 members, AESOP is the only representation of planning schools of Europe. Given this unique position, AESOP strengthens its profile as a professional body. AESOP mobilizes its resources, taking a leading role and entering its expertise into ongoing debates and initiatives regarding planning education and planning qualifications of future professionals.

Annual Congress, on European, national, regional and local spatial planning issues
Yearly meeting of the Heads of Schools discussing planning curricula
PhD Workshop for young academics
Lecture Series
Cooperation with planning professional bodies and other key stakeholders
