Organisations in a range of sectors have already subscribed to the study, including regional and local authorities, universities, accrediting bodies and professional associations.

National co-ordinators established to date in 16 European countries securely anchor the Greater European dimension of the study, with the inclusion of Switzerland, Norway and the candidate member states of Romania and Bulgaria.

The launch meeting, in Paris on March 31st, will allow those involved in the study to meet and discuss the initiative in detail. Everyone is invited to join us for the afternoon session and learn more about the study as well as EIfEL's activities and services.
