4. Challenges, Goals, Mission statement

Challenges, Goals, Mission statement Goals 1. To inform and educate people outside the field. Define and clarify IA for different target audiences. Common challenges 1. Confusion - Lack of visibility (outside & inside - 2. To create awareness of IA practices in the work of other fields and connect incl.training & branding) them with the IA community & knowledge. 2. IA practice does excist! But not nesessary identified as such (enough) 3. To improve (informal) local networking 3. Informal networking thrives. events (on- or offline) (to support the expansion of the EU network) 4. Competition with institutions and within the industry. 4. To increase cooperation between institutions in the field and communities 5. Lack of „Europeanness“ ... & awareness - in the industry International ... but, not European Mission Statement 5. To identify and develop an European dimension of IA (education, research, market, professional practice, training, ect.)
