Welcome
to the website of the ASEF University Alumni Network. ASEFUAN is a grouping of young leaders from 43 Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM) countries who share a strong interest in the promotion of inter-cultural relations between Asia and Europe .
ASEFUAN was founded in Bali in April 2002 by the graduates of the ASEF University Programme, a project organized by the Asia-Europe Foundation (ASEF) which brings together some of the most outstanding undergraduates in Asia and Europe. ASEFUAN became an international non-profit organisation (Association Internationale sans but lucratif, AISBL) under Belgian law on 6 August 2009.
Our members are typically university graduates in the fields of Social and Political Science, Economics, Law and Business and we currently have a membership of close to 500 in all ASEM countries. We hold as our aims the strengthening of cross-cultural ties and the promotion of excellence within our membership as well as the fostering of Asia-Europe relations at a grass roots and local community level.
ASEFUAN organises activities to maintain and reinforce the relationships forged among participants of the ASEF University programme and undertakes projects to promote a meaningful intercultural dialogue between Asia and Europe, particularly among the younger generation.
