During our 2009 General Meeting at Malta, we have explained that we were exploring a change in the membership structure of EAPAA.

The main reason for this is the external recognition of EAPAA by European Accreditation Authorities. EAPAA as an association of programmes/universities is ‘suspected’ to run the risk of unwanted influences to the accreditation decisions.

The solution is that no longer individual programmes (or universities) are member of EAPAA, but instead ‘only’ EGPA and NISPAcee will be the (corporate) members of EAPAA. Both organisations will act on behalf of their members who are interested in EAPAA accreditation. Also programmes interested in EAPAA accreditation will be informed about developments of EAPAA during the annual EGPA and NISPAcee conferences. They will be invited to participate in the EAPAA Advisory Panel.

The Change of Statutes will be discussed during the EAPAA General Meeting on September 7, 2010 in Toulouse (just before the EGPA annaul Conference.
The contacts of the present EAPAA members are informed about these changes, and have all relevant documents. If you want to be informed as well, please notify the EAPAA secretariat ( This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it ).
