EEPC and LILO become MOPILE
In the autumn of 2005 it became clear that the new lifelong learning programme from the European Commission was going to include some significant changes in comparison to the existing programmes. The EAIE’s Special Interest Group LILO, which covered lifelong learning, approached the Professional Section EEPC, which covered coordination of educational programmes, to see if closer cooperation could be developed. Discussions led to a suggestion of ‘merger’ and in June 2006 LILO was dissolved and its members affiliated to EEPC. In January 2007 the EAIE Executive Board agreed the new name of EEPC, which is now called MOPILE: Management of Programmes in Lifelong Education. The MOPILE Board includes members from both the old EEPC and LILO groups, and they are all looking forward to dealing with the new challenges that lie ahead.
