[1] That 1983 meeting sowed the seed of what nowadays is Trans Europe Halles (TEH): a European-based, international network of community-led, grassroots cultural centers established in repurposed buildings, currently gathering 162 members and associated organizations in over 40 countries.

The Executive Committee, is the governing and policy making body of the network, and is composed of Trans Europe Halles' full members representatives, elected by the General Assembly for two years.

The Spring Conference is a public event gathering 300 to 400 international grassroots cultural centers managers, urbanists, architects, artists, researchers, policymakers, etc.

It is the largest event of its kind, providing networking and peer-learning opportunities, and addressing timely topics for the sector through panels, roundtables, workshops, artistic performances, exhibitions, walks and visits.

It gathers 150 to 300 international grassroots cultural centers managers every year and focuses on strategic thinking, networking, knowledge exchange, project planning and cooperation activities.

The Coordination Office offers consultancy services, project management, fundraises for the activities of the network and has become a focal point of expertise for the members.

Organized twice a year and hosted by a different member center each time, the TEH meetings are a networking platform for peers, a source of inspiration and a birthplace for new collaborations.
