This scaling up and intertwining of disciplines in architecture, urban planning and landscape architecture will not do without properly educated experts. The task of architecture schools is to respond to these requirements and translate them into their existing educational programs.

Its mission is to improve the quality of architectural education, the common architecture policy in Europe and to promote discussion and exchange of information on architectural education and research.
