We are pleased to announce the launch of new Special Thematic Interest Groups created by EAEC which will help the Association and its members, within Europe and its neighbours, to communicate our objectives and activities clearly, to promote the development and innovation of Lifelong Learning and to highlight the unique character of our organisation. The new Groups will be supported by a new communication platform that will allow for a greater interaction among partner institutions and their academic and administrative communities.
We would like to invite representatives of our member universities interested to actively participate in these Groups. Members of the Groups will have access to the communication platform where all related documents will be listed. Annual meeting of the Groups will be taking place at the annual ERASMUS Congress and Exhibition (ERACON), www.eracon.info. Special Interest Groups Committee chairs will receive a free registration at ERACON while Group Committee members will receive a 50% discount on the registration fee. Additional benefits will be announced at a later stage. The scheme of offers will be applied from 2015, one year after a group is formed and started its first meeting during ERACON 2014.

The European Association of Erasmus Coordinators (EAEC) was founded in 2004 in Lodz, Poland, with an official kick off during the ERACON 2005 (Erasmus Coordinators Conference and GO-Exchange Education Fair 2005) in Cyprus.
The aims of the Association are to:
1. Enable an information and experience among the European Erasmus Programme Coordinators and beyond,
2. Promote mobility of students, academic and administrative staff in the territory of the European Union and beyond,
3. Circulate provisions on the Bologna Process and its  updates in academic circles,
4. Promote principles and participation in the Erasmus + European Commission Programme,
5. Support the process of raising education and quality standards in the territory of the European Union and beyond,
6. Organise seminars and conferences, with an assumption of enabling direct communication among the Association's members and be a catalyst for increased monility throughout Europe and beyond, as well as defining new areas of the Association's activity,
7. Prepare and submit project proposals to be funded by the European Commission,
8. Cooperate as a partner in European funded projects,
9. Run surveys and studies on topics relating to the above,
10. Produce publications of interest to the members.
During the first General Assembly in Cyprus, June 2005, it was decided that the Erasmus Coordinators Conference and GO-Exchange Education Fair (ERACON) become an annual event. Since 2010, it was decided to be named Erasmus Congress and Exhibition.
