These organisations have agreed to work together on several issues including in liaising with the European Commission Director General Institutes to bring about an integrated approach to future plans for research and development in the European Union. Further collaboration being considered is on future joint conferences.
The meeting talks presented examples of good practice across Europe which were then discussed with the aim of trying to synthesise a 'perfect' service delivery model for the future. A report will be
produced for AAATE members that summarises the findings; this document will also be used to help inform future research and development plans.
