INSOL Europe was formed in 1981 to involve insolvency practitioners and advisers throughout Europe. The Association is governed by its Executive and Council.

INSOL Europe’s committees generate much of its work. The main event is an Annual Congress, hosted by a different country each year. A new committee designs the technical programme of each Congress. There is also a separate Technical Committee that carries out cross-border related studies referred by INSOL Europe’s Council, countries and other insolvency associations, INSOL International or its Member Associations.

Other events and courses include the Eastern European Countries’ Committee (EECC) and the High-Level Course on Insolvency, each held annually in different countries.
