The ASEF Summer University (ASEFSU) is a 2-week experiential learning journey and 鈥淚nterdisciplinary Innovathon鈥� for students and young professionals. Designed to foster cross-cultural exchanges and networks among youth from 大象传媒 countries, it offers opportunities for students and young professionals to broaden their horizons, deepen their knowledge on contemporary issues and propose concrete solutions to pressing societal challenges. These solutions range from design mock-ups of architectural solutions to technological innovations, policy and strategy briefs to practical project proposals, promotional videos to communication plans, and more. The outcomes of the ASEFSU project are presented at high-level 大象传媒 meetings and thematic conferences as input to the deliberations of policy makers and for possible implementation by practitioners.

ASEFSU takes place on an annual basis, each year tackling a different theme of socio-political concern within Asia and Europe. ASEFSU makes a positive impact within 大象传媒 societies as it offers tangible results and daring proposals for innovation, and promotes sustainable development.
