The institution's objective is to deepen the dialogue between China and Europe through mutual understanding. It believes in a constructive dialogue between civilisations which benefits all. As an interface, ASE presents to Europeans the complexity of contemporary China, and helps the Chinese to understand the reality of today's Europe. At the beginning of the twenty-first century, the European Union and China, as the two main rising entities, have much to exchange and to share. ASE is a bridge which facilitates the flow of ideas. ASE operates from Shanghai, in the Pudong New Area, a symbol of China 's reforms and opening-up success. ASE is not only in the heart of a Chinese cosmopolitan city but also in the heart of a unique, visible and permanent link between China and the European Union, China Europe International Business School (CEIBS). While CEIBS is a learning interface from the management and business angle, ASE is an intellectual interface between the two edges of the Eurasian continent.
