Its first annual congress was in 1986 in Vienna and its first president was Jacques Drèze.[4] The current president is Hélène Rey.[5] The Association currently has around 4000 members. Its objectives are:
". . . to contribute to the development and application of economics as a science in Europe; to improve communication and exchange between teachers, researchers and students in economics in the different European countries; and to develop and sponsor co-operation between teaching institutions of university level and research institutions in Europe "[6]
