When founded in 1996, the aim of AMiCE was the exchange of experiences in hospital management on a practical, but informal level. Since then the activities of the network have also spread to other, more specific cooperations, such as indicator benchmarking or purchasing. Beside this, the network led to different bilateral and trilateral cooperation activities.
Each member has its own specialties. In order to develop projects within the specific topics and improve the exchange of knowledge and experience, it is necessary to bring together the experts in organised meetings – if possible with the help of EU subsidies.
The network therefore defined topics of interest that each member could take part in if interested and create excellence centres.
