The first executive committee and the first board were elected in the inaugural session, which took place at the University of Ljubljana (Slovenia) in October 2014. The inaugural conference of the association was hosted by the Vilnius University (Lithuania) and organized in June 2016 by the first vice president of the association, Vytis Silius who assumed the function of the new president in the same year. The second conference was held in September 2017 and organized by the vice president Ralph Weber at the University of Basel (Switzerland) under the presidency of Vytis Silius.
