History
The Asia-Europe Foundation University Alumni Network (ASEFUAN) is a grouping of friends from 43 different countries who share a strong interest in the promotion of inter-cultural relations between Asia and Europe.
ASEFUAN was founded in Bali, Indonesia in April 2002 by the graduates of the ASEF University, a programme which brings together some of the most outstanding final year students 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 Business economics, law and political science. We currently have a membership of close to 500, however this is estimated to grow by about 40 a year.
We hold as our aims:
- the strenghtening of cross-cultural ties and the promotion of excellence within our membership
- the fostering of Asia - Europe relations at a grass roots or local community level
Our aims are realised through the organisation of academic, professional and social projects, both on a once-off and an on-going basis.
