Annual meeting takes place every year. It provides a forum for ENIEC members to exchange good practices and to develop new approaches to local and European-level challenges. The meetings center around chosen themes in the field of elderly care and migrants. The meetings tend to involve field visits and local presentations, but most importantly they provide time and space for ENIEC members to come together to exchange ideas. During each annual meeting, the general members’ assembly meets. This assembly is the highest decision-making body of ENIEC.
