On November 12th the ambassadors of the European Year of Creativity and Innovation 2009 presented the "Manifesto for Creativity and Innovation in Europe" to Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso.

For the second time AiNB organised the Fidias Awards. The goal is to issue an award at a meritorious interiorarchitect in different categories. Also students can participate and send in a project. It's their institute that coaches them for this project.  The Fidias Awards is getting more and more attention and had a big response. The ceremony of the award took place on november 25th in Antwerp, in the trendy Red&Blue club. It was a spectacular evening that AiNB realised with the sponsorship of interior-related partners. More then 600 people attended the event.
