We are delighted to inform the AESOP community that during the last Council of Representative meeting, held in Venice on the occasion of the 2024 Head of Schools meeting, the AESOP 2024 Core Curriculum has been approved. 

The AESOP Core Curriculum represents an updated version of the Core Requirements for a high-quality European Planning Education, issued in 1995 as part of AESOP’s statement on European Planning Education (AESOP Working Group on the Curriculum of Planning Education, 1995).

The Core Curriculum plays two crucial, interrelated roles for AESOP: It identifies knowledge, competencies and values deemed vital for spatial planners at the start of the 21st century; and it serves as a ‘benchmark’ for the evaluation of applications and admission of new member schools and their education programmes.
