Why become a member

"The recent nomination of our parallel design studio 'Global Perspectives' with CPUT in South Africa for the EAAE Pedagogy Award in Münster 2024 was a welcome recognition of our efforts to integrate international collaboration at the heart of our architecture program. And, in line with the conference theme 'LESS IS MUST', I covered the distance from Hasselt to Münster, about 300 km, on a UHasselt service e-bike in 4 days along the tourist bicycle route network. Besides a temporary deep red bum,this adventure gave me the opportunity to report for the UHasselt magazine, advocate for sustainable travel and nominate the inventor of the bicycle junction system for an honorary doctorate."

"Being part of the EAAE over the years has been a truly enriching experience.It is more than just an academic network—it is a community where passionate people come together to exchange ideas, share challenges, and inspire each other.I have learned so much from the diversity of perspectives, and some of the best conversations happened not just in lectures, but over coffee or during informal gatherings.The friendships built, the collaborative spirit, and the shared belief in the value of architectural education made these years really special. Looking back,I amgrateful for the energy, openness, and creativity thatEAAE always seems to bring."

Associated institutional member: for schools of architecture not fulfilling above requirements or institutions willing to join the Association.

Associated individual member: for individuals who are involved in teaching architecture either through their profession or in their duties, in Europe or abroad, active in one of the bodies of the EAAE at the moment of the application, who cannot register on behalf of a school or an institution.

If you would like to register as an Associated EAAE member (non-European), please contact the EAAE secretariat.

Over 40 years EAAE has been both a platform and a lobbying organisation for sharing ideas, concept and knowledge about architecture education and research. From a membership in EAAE, you can profit in many ways:

At our congresses, seminars and events - always hosted by one of our member schools - you meet many fellow educators, researchers and school managers and gain access to a vast professional network.

By sharing good practices, inspiring ideas and triggering concepts on all matters concerning the education of architects.

Through the possibility of building up teams or finding partners for funded research projects, with the EAAE willing to act as an associate partner supporting you in these endeavours.

By joining in either of our two academies - the Education Academy and the Research Academy - who are actively increasing the quality of teaching architecture and the validity and depth of architectural research.

By getting involved in our Conservation Network, connecting you to leading scholars and educators from many nations and cultures.

In addition to this, we collaborate with significant international partners such as ACE, ACSA, ARCC, ELIA and the Mies van der Rohe Foundation. Such alliances offer EAAE members an expanded range of possibilities for project cooperation, exchange, dissemination and impact.
