3. To improve (informal) local networking events (on- or offline) (to support the expansion of the EU network)
4. To increase cooperation betweeninstitutions in the field and communities in the industry
5. To identify and develop an European dimension of IA (education, research, market, professional practice, training, ect.)
Challenges, Goals, Mission statement
1. Confusion - Lack of visibility (outside & inside - incl.training & branding)
2. IA practice does excist! But not nesessary identified as such (enough)
3. Informal networking thrives.
4. Competition with institutions and within the industry.
