ASEF is Seeking a Talented Designer for Our 2024 Annual Report.
Background:
ASEF is an intergovernmental not-for-profit organisation which promotes understanding, strengthens relationships and facilitates cooperation among the people, institutions and organisations of Asia and Europe. It seeks to enhance dialogue and exchanges, and encourage collaboration across the areas of Culture, Education, Governance, Economy, Media, Public health and Sustainable Development. Founded in 1997, ASEF is based in Singapore and the only institution of the Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM). Together with over 170 partner organisations, ASEF has conducted more than 260 projects, mainly conferences, seminars and workshops attended by over 40,000 Asians and Europeans. ASEF further expands its reach to a wider audience through its social media networks, web-portals, publications and exhibitions.
Highlights of Achievements for 2024
In 2024, ASEF 2024 implemented projects across the themes of Communication, Culture, Education, Governance and Public Health. We also initiated the enhancement of our websites and social media platforms, which reinforced our outreach in the absence of the ASEM summit and FMMs. Through collaboration with existing and new partners, we covered important issues which affected both Asia and Europe, and helped promote greater understanding and opportunities of cooperation among the stakeholders. Towards the end of the 2024, there was a change in leadership in ASEF, with a handover to the new Executive Director and Deputy Executive Director end-October.
