Aims and Objectives
The basic aims of the network revolve around the need to promote the Planning practices across Europe, interdisciplinary interactions, and identification of successful planning experiences.
Three kinds of staff and students exchanges are supported under the banner of the network:
- General ERASMUS programme mobility;
- Short Intensive Programmes; and,
- a comprehensive Postgraduate Certificate in European Spatial Development and Planning.
Apart from this the network scholars are also engaged in wider interdisciplinary research through various programmes funded by European Commission and respective national institutions.
The network also holds regular scholarly events that generally address the evolution of planning aspects since the inception of the network.

Famous quotes containing the words aims and/or objectives:
“Since he aims at great souls, he cannot miss. But if someone should slander me in this way, no one would believe him. For envy goes against the powerful. Yet slight men, apart from the great, are but a weak bulwark.”
—Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)
“Along the journey we commonly forget its goal. Almost every vocation is chosen and entered upon as a means to a purpose but is ultimately continued as a final purpose in itself. Forgetting our objectives is the most frequent stupidity in which we indulge ourselves.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
