Initiated by the Asia-Europe Foundation (ASEF) through its online portal culture360.asef.org in 2012, the mobility funding guides are a concrete output of the mapping of funding opportunities for international cultural exchange in 20 countries in Asia.
In 2014, the 3rd edition of the Mapping of Funding Opportunities for International Cultural Exchange in Asia will also include a new Guide for the Russian Federation.
The main objectives of the mapping are to make available online, in a transparent way, the existing information on funding for the international mobility of artists and cultural operators in Asia and to give input to funders on how to fill in the existing gaps in funding for international cultural exchange in Asia.
