The Association of European Schools of Planning (AESOP) is a network of European universities, their departments and affiliated schools that are engaged in teaching and research in the fields of urban and regional planning.
The formal charter of establishment of AESOP was signed in Dortmund, Germany in 1987. In 1992, it was formally registered as a non-profit association under Belgian law.
The association aims to promote the development of the teaching curricula and research among its member institutions through mutual dialogue, communication, exchange, and dissemination of research practices.

AESOP aims to achieve its goals through the organization of an heterogeneous set of events: - AESOP Annual Congress, focussing on European, national, regional and local spatial planning issues; - Annual AESOP Heads of Schools Meeting, discussing planning education and curricula related issues; - Annual AESOP PhD Workshop, usually preceeding the annual congress and fostering interaction and learning among Ph.D. Candidates focussing on planning related issues; - European Urban Summer School, aiming to bring together young professionals and experienced academics and practitioners from across Europe to discuss relevant planning issues. - AESOP Lecture Series to find possible answers to present-day and emerging challenges that face planning and planners as a modern discipline in a new role in our contemporary complex and dynamic society.
In 2003-2004, AESOP launched the AESOP Young Academics (YA) Network. The AESOP YA were founded as a working group in particular addressed at planners who have only recently entered the academic world: PhD Students, Postdoctoral researchers or people starting in academic positions. The activities of the AESOP YA Network are complementary to other activities that are being deployed within AESOP as a whole.
