AECA
high level dialogue for a globalised world
AECA (the American European Community Association) has as its key mission to
encourage and deepen transatlantic cooperation and understanding. AECA achieves this
through its important international forum for high-level dialogue and debate in which key
current economic, political and social issues are examined and discussed by senior
members of the international business, political, government, diplomatic, civic and
academic communities.
AECA’s programme of high-level round-tables provides opportunities for leaders to meet
with their peers and to share their ideas, experience and vision, towards constructive and
tangible outcomes. The scope of interest of the association also extends to the global
context, including the BRIC countries.
The association was founded in the UK in 1981 by Sir David Nicholson, Member of the
European Parliament, together with Roy Jenkins, President of the European Commission,
and Leo Tindemans, Member of the European Parliament. AECA-Belgium was established
in 1985 by Baron Jacques Groothaert and Lucien Le Lièvre. The association is non-
partisan, and is politically independent.
