Association for Dental Education in Europe

Learning together to improve oral health and quality of life

ADEE Regional Council

Since 2022 ADEE operates a regional structure where countries are automatically categorised into one of 7 regions. These regions are organised based on having shared concepts and historical evolution of dental education resulting in comparable education systems as well as similar social and cultural context.

Region 1 United Kingdom and Ireland

Region 2 Scandinavia and Baltic countries

Region 3 Western Europe

Region 4 Southern Europe

Region 5 Eastern Europe

Region 6

Region 6a: South Eastern Mediterranean, North Africa and Middle East

Region 6b: All other African Countries

Region 7

Region 7a: North America

Region 7b: Latin America and the Caribbean

Region 7c: Southeast Asia, Oceania and Japan

Region 7d: Rest of Asia, including India and China

Region 7e: All other countries

Where available ADEE will link with existing regional structures to ensure regional voices are included in ADEE strategy and direction. Thus for Region 1 UK & Ireland ADEE collaborated with BARDES (British Alliance of Research in Dental Education & Scholarship).

The ADEE regional council brings together representation from each of the regions to provide support to the ADEE board by offering a means for regional diversity to be included in activities and discussions. Current regional council membership is as follows:
