The Association for Dental Education in Europe is an independent European organisation representing academic dentistry and the community of dental educators. Back in 1997 EDSA and ADEE agreed in principle to collaborate. Both organizations were of the opinion that future success and advancements in teaching philosophy were only achievable through mutual interest and involvement from both students and educators. ADEE values greatly the opinions of EDSA representatives with regards to all areas of dental education. It is our wish that this partnership will continue to move forward and prosper for many years to come.
