"ASE aims to be a contributor of ideas having positive effects on the relationship between Europe and China and constructive impacts for Eurasia." David Gosset, Director of Academia Sinica Europaea.

"If WTO is meant to facilitate the exchange of goods and services, ASE means to facilitate the exchange of ideas. You can trade ideas without trading goods, but not the other way around". Alfredo Pastor, ASE Board of Directors.
