The Asia-Europe Foundation (ASEF) presents its new scheme, the Asia-Europe Cultural Partnership Initiative: New Media (AECPI: New Media) as part of its plans to further enhance multilateral connections between Asia and Europe by developing and stimulating strategic initiatives with partners from the new media sector. ASEF will offer support ranging from 5,000EUR to 15,000EUR to organisations such as festivals, research institutes, associations for partnership initiatives occurring from 1 Jan to 31 Dec 2010, with a clear Asia-Europe focus. ASEF aims to support partnership initiatives which will bring about more opportunities for networking, understanding and cooperation between the two regions amidst new challenges that the sector faces today. This will help further ASEF’s role as a key advocate for Asia-Europe dialogue and collaboration in the field of new media.
