The "Eurosur Foundation for Cooperation between Latin America and the European Union" was born in 2011 in Argentina where it has become a civil association and non-profit organisation thanks to the work of institutions and individuals from both Europe and Latin America, with significant experience in cooperation between the two geographical areas. The Foundation works with a central office in Buenos Aires, Argentina and another one in Napoli, Italy, but disseminates and develops its activities through its associate members covering all areas of EU-LA cooperation.

The Eurosur Foundation aims to favour cooperation and consolidate the economic and cultural dialogue between Latin America and Europe, as well as strengthen the set of shared values and identities.

The Foundation primarily works proposing project ideas and actions related to four areas of work: social inclusion and fight against inequality; education, training and citizenship rights, international trade; protectionism and globalisation.
