Federation of internal communications associations across Europe All members of IoIC are automatically part of FEIEA – the FEIEA embodies co-operation among national member associations and currently has members in 11 countries (Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Portugal, Slovenia, Switzerland and the UK), while its out-reach programme fosters informal links with other European countries (including Croatia, the Czech Republic, Finland, France, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain and Sweden).
FEIEA’s vision FEIEA was founded in 1955. Since then, it has sought to promote co-operation and understanding between communicators across Europe. FEIEA gives us the space to explore our common interests, connected by our geography and our profession. It is a bridge between communicators, a mutual space for co-operation and a forum to discuss issues that are relevant to today’s business communicators. FEIEA’s mission FEIEA provides a network of professional and collegiate support for business communicators. It aims to broaden members’ knowledge of corporate communications in Europe. It aims to speak with a united voice on communication issues at a pan-European level in dealings with the European Union and with business, economic, academic and social organisations across Europe, while remaining independent from all of these bodies. And it aims to serve its federated national member associations, providing them with a common European meeting point.
FEIEA’s activities Each year, FEIEA offers a programme of services and activities for the members of its national associations. Its key services include: • The FEIEA Academy – one of Europe’s leading professional development events for communicators. Delegates gather at the annual Academy to hear from top speakers, bringing together perspectives from across Europe, and can discuss the issues that face them in their work while networking with their fellow communicators. • The FEIEA Grand Prix – an annual awards competition which seeks to recognise excellence at a European level and to promote the sharing of best practice in corporate communications. Judged by a pan-European jury, the competition offers an opportunity for you to gauge your communications against a European benchmark. The awards are presented at an annual FEIEA Grand Prix gala dinner, which always follows the FEIEA Academ. • The FEIEA Press Card – opening doors across Europe. Cards for display on cars, used in conjunction with the FEIEA press card, are also available. Click for more information about FEIEA on its website.
