The Association of European Schools of Planning

The Association of European Schools of Planning(AESOP) is a network of universities and university departments that teach and conduct research within the field of urban and regional planning.  The network exists to promote the development of the teaching curricula and research within the Member Schools through regular dialogue, exchange visits and the dissemination of research and best practice.  

These aims are achieved through an Annual Congress where staff and students make presentations and discuss papers on European, national, regional and local spatial planning issues, as well as debates on planning curricula.  A three-day Ph.D workshop precedes the Congress.  The AESOP Newsletter provides information on the activities of member schools, reports of AESOP Working Groups and other issues.
