Organised each year in a different location within the European region, the Deans' and Directors' retreat is the most important ASPHER membership events of the calendar year.

This high level meeting of the heads of our member institutions plays a significant role in evaluating the ongoing activities, whilst also planning and organising the future direction of ASPHER. Since 2014, the General Assembly meetings of the Association take place in the context of the annual Deans' and Directors' Retreats of the Association.
