Any
questions
about Event
Management?
Meet the new
E.Q.A.C team!
How
many times,
while planning
an event, did
you ask
yourself ‘Am I
organizing
everything the
right way?’,
‘Do I have
enough money?’
or ‘Is the
event really
AEGEE-like?’.
It’s time to
have an answer
to all the
questions you
might have in
terms of
‘AEGEEan’
event
management:
your solution
is called
Events Quality
Assurance
Committee
(E.Q.A.C). The
E.Q.A.C is in
charge of an
important
mission:
checking
whether
European
events are
organized in
accordance
with AEGEE
standards and
giving support
to the locals
in terms of
event
planning. Meet
their team here.

Latvian
presidency of
the Council
announced
priorities
On

of the Council
of Ministers.
The main motto
for Latvia's
presidency is:
"Competitive
Europe,
Digital
Europe,
Engaged
Europe".
Competitive
Europe among
other things,
will focus on
the creation
of jobs and
engaged Europe
is focused on

Summit in Riga
in May 2015 is
the key focus
here. We are
looking
