Communication Activities

The EAA has an extensive communications and dissemination concept that is developed with and endorsed by the EAA Faculty and includes social media coverage; geographically diverse convention meetings; print media and internet presence: Two physical/ hybrid EAA meetings per year are scheduled and carefully prepared with strategic & operational input by the EAA Faculty.
