1. AESOP Annual Congress
Every year, usually in July, AESOP holds its Annual Congress, hosted by one of member universities. Congresses are a wide platform of exchange in the fields of research, education and practice in planning. Every five years AESOP co-organizes World Planning Schools Congress gathering planning schools from all over the world. The organizer of this congress is GPEAN (see section 2.6). World Planning School Congresses (WPSC) took place in Shanghai (2001), Mexico (2006) and Perth (2011). The call for hosting WPSC 2016 was open until 31st January 2013. Until 2013 every five years AESOP organized also joint congresses with the Association of Collegiate Schools of Planning (ACSP), USA. The 2007 joint AESOP-ACSP Congress took place in Chicago. The 2013 joint AESOP-ACSP Congress is taking place in Dublin. AESOP congresses are open to all, but AESOP members benefit from reduced congress fees. Every participant affiliated to the AESOP member institution has a right to reduced fee. Recently more than 1.000 abstracts have been submitted to the AESOP Annual Congress; 1005 to the AESOP Silver Jubilee Congress in Ankara (2012) and more than 1.300 to the Joint AESOP-ACSP Congress in Dublin (2013).
