Change of Secretariat

• Unfortunately the successor organisation of the Danish Centre will not prolong the cooperation

• Due to change of acting/deciding persons it seems to be better to find an other base

• Call for Secretariat was published and sent out• Decision made to for new secretariat:

– Institute Integriert Studieren, IIS (http://www.jku.at/iis)

http://www.jku.at/iis


Change of SecretariatJKU: Why Institute Integriert Studieren (IIS) applied (http://www.jku.at/iis)

• Fits well into the work on the web page (e.g. payment, conference tools)

• Fits well into other association activities (ICC, KI-I, bookAccess)• Good opportunity to involve students• Good opportunity to involve AAATE into R&D activities• Placement for a secretary with disability

(3 years education on the job)• New offices

http://www.jku.at/iis


Change of SecretariatProcedures:1. Formal apporval of the GA needed2. Change of Constitution needed – to be run according to Austrian Law

in essence the same, but some formal requirements3. Committee of proponents (proposal: President, Past-President) to found AAATE

according to Austrian Law)4. Inviting all members into the new association5. Next GA (Villamoura)

a. First GA of the ”new” assoicationb. Last GA of the ”old” association

6. Practical transfer will start immediatly after aproval by GA7. Problems might occour but they will be solved, so please be patient
