This initiative seeks to ensure full single market freedoms for associations, simplifying their cross-EU activities and promoting their fundamental rights.
Current rules create obstacles, such as additional registrations, when associations operate across EU borders. This may distort the market for non-profit organisations, affecting the EU democratic space and the exercise of EU fundamental rights.
The UIA welcomes its newest Associate Member Kingsley Napley.

MAASTRICHT GOES GREEN
Watch how local entrepreneurs, together with the Mayor of Maastricht, step up to create meaningful change in the 'Maastricht Goes Green' documentary
The Maastricht Convention Bureau studied on which sustainability practices have been embraced by local entrepreneurs within the meeting industry in Maastricht. We found out which 4 Sustainable Developoment Goals are particularly relevant in Maastricht and we’d love to share our industry members' sustainable initiatives!
Local entrepreneurs like Château St. Gerlach, MECC Maastricht conference centre, Eden Hotels Maastricht and Van der Valk Hotel Maastricht engaged in this enlightening short video. They opened doors that normally remain closed and gave a glimpse behind the scenes, where it comes to local sourcing, waste management, energy reduction, decent work and community building.

Since industrialization, many business sectors, including manufacturing and transportation, have contributed to the acceleration of global warming, and the MICE industry is no exception. Events such as exhibitions and conventions generate large amounts of waste, and carbon dioxide is emitted as visitors travel to event locations, further polluting the environment.
The 19th European Geriatric Medicine Society Annual Congress was organized in Helsinki, Finland in September 2023.
Timo Strandberg, Chair of the EuGMS 2023 Local Organizing Committee, shares his thoughts after the successful congress:
In late August 2023, the international ICESS conference (The 15th International Conference on Electronic Spectroscopy and Structure) was held in Oulu. The conference, that was held in Finland for the first time, gathered 190 participants from 24 different countries.
Visitors who come to Busan for MICE events also look for opportunities to experience the city’s culture and natural beauty. Every year, the Busan Tourism Organization (BTO) discovers and designates Busan Unique Venues, which are distinctive MICE assets found only in Busan. In 2023, three new Busan Unique Venues, each with its own unique charms, were selected to be the face of Busan’s MICE industry.
Busan is a leading marine city that is growing into a global MICE center thanks to its rich natural heritage of beaches, mountains, and rivers, not to mention an advanced infrastructure that is only befitting of the second largest city in Korea. Over the past 20 years, Busan has successfully hosted a string of international events. Today, the city is working to qualitatively improve its MICE standing and enhance the value of its core industries.
