The Association Européenne des Conservatoires, Académies de Musique et Musikhochschulen (AEC) is a European network that represents Higher Music Education (HME) institutions all across Europe and beyond. AEC was founded in 1953 and has about 300 member institutions in more than 50 countries. It operates as an International Non-profit Association under Belgian law out of offices in Brussels with around 8 FTE staff members. AEC works for the advancement of European HME and, more generally, of music, the arts and culture in contemporary society and for future generations. As its members include almost all of the important players in the field, the AEC can, for good reasons, claim to be ‘the leading voice for European higher music education’. AEC sees HME as combining a quest for excellence in three areas: artistic practice, learning & teaching and research & innovation. It addresses all three areas by providing support, information and expert advice to the specialist institutions in Europe offering HME; by engaging in advocacy and partnership-building at European and international levels; and by implementing measures to raise understanding and enhance standards of HME across the European Higher Education Area and beyond.
