The Asia-Europe Foundation (ASEF) seeks to promote better mutual understanding between the peoples of Asia and Europe through greater intellectual, cultural and people-to-people exchanges between the two regions. Established in February 1997 by the members of the Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM), ASEF is based in Singapore and reports to a board of 45 governors. ASEF's activities range over conventions, symposiums, seminars, public lectures, youth camps, art competitions, performances, exhibitions, and other promotions in the three areas mentioned above. Having completed to date over 450 projects directly involving more than 15,000 Asians and Europeans, ASEF always seeks to work in partnership with other institutions and private sector entities to ensure that its work is broad-based and spread as widely as possible throughout the ASEM countries. The Foundation is funded by contributions from member governments, but the cost of many of its projects are shared by other institutions as well as by private corporations of ASEM countries.

ASEM member countries are:

From Asia - Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Laos, Malaysia, Mongolia, Myanmar, Pakistan, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Viet Nam

From Europe - Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom

Culture360.org

In 2008 the Asia Europe Foundation launched culture360.org, a multi-disciplinary Asia-Europe cultural web portal that will serve as a one-stop source of cultural information and virtual meeting space for the diverse cultural community of the two regions.
