Mission and cultural cooperation
The main mission of the ASEF is to build a bridge between academia and business excellence by linking promising students from Slovenia with university and industry mentors in the United States, as well as doing the same for American students in Slovenia. Although Slovenia and the United States are target countries, the foundation also seeks opportunities for American investors in Central and Eastern European countries.
In 2014, the foundation, together with Stanford University Computer Science, launched a summer internship programme at Stanford University for students of the University of Ljubljana. Its goal is also to foster short cultural exchange programmes for students. One of the donors is also Slowind quintet from Ljubljana.
