In November 1992 The Secretariat of AECEF applied for registration at particular institutions, namely at The Czechoslovak Ministry of Interior. With regards to dividing Czechoslovakia into two countries this application was put forward to be negotiated at The Ministry of Interior of Czech Republic. This ministry has already completed the registration of AECEF.
The Secretariat of AECEF used the information media of Czech Technical University of Prague for the announcement of the Association's foundation. This information was published in The Electronic Bulletin of Czech Technical University - CTU ENEWS, the second bulletin (October 1992).
The Secretariat of AECEF worked out a paper "Association of European Civil Engineering faculties and Transfer of Technologies° for the UNESCO International Congress of Engineering Deans and Leaders which will be held in Paris in June 23 - 25, 1993. The paper gives information about the foundation of AECEF and the maín aims the Association's activities.
The information about the Association's foundation and its main aims was sent to about 40 European faculties and important European institutions for the purpose of making closer contacts. The information was also sent to several North American universities. It was sent to The Secretariat of The Association of Higher Education in Civil Engineering (in the former USSR, Moscow), to The Secretariat of SEFI (Brussels), to the Secretariat of The European Community (Brussels), to The Secretariat of UNESCO (Paris) and to The Secretariat of NATO (Brussels) and to the European Committee of Civil Engineers (London).
To facilitate closer contacis with German speaking countries, the first contacts have been made with the Fakult~tentag fúr Bauingenieur- und Vermessungswesen - Více-Presídent Prof. Zumpe (TU Dresden).
A short working meeting of the Board is being prepared to take place in Prague at the beginning of May 1993. The main topics of the negotiations will be:
- The specification of the Working Committees' activities
