Means
The AIECE organises between its members an exchange of view, of information and of literature on international economic developments, in particular in Europe. The Association provides the framework for joint activities of its members in areas of common interest. Its structure allows its members to develop common views on the future cyclical development.
In order to meet these objectives the Association has half-yearly plenary meetings, centred around a general report on the European conjuncture prepared in turn by one of the members in cooperation with the other member institutes, but also with discussions of the working group reports and of special surveys prepared by member institutes.
Occasionally, outside experts are invited to report on specific subjects or on non-European developments.

Membership
The AIECE is in principle open to independent European institutes involved in surveying economic conditions and developments, and in short-term macroeconomic forecasting. Independence is taken in its broadest meaning. In some countries there is no institute that is totally independent from the government of from societal organizations, and indeed one of the founding institutes is a public institute. However, the Association does not accept membership of institutes that are directly involved in conducting economic policy or are representing specific economic interests.
“ The Association is one of the few independent fora where the economic outlook of Europe is systematically discussed ”
