Alsace in Brussels

The Association for the Promotion of Alsace (APA)
A network of conviviality and expertise active in Brussels since 1979, APA is comprised of native and adopted Alsatians wishing to promote the development of their region through their knowledge of European and international affairs.

The Alsace Office

Representing Alsatian regional and consular bodies to the European Union, the Office opened its doors in Brussels in 1990. It ensures consistency in the representation of its partners’ interests, relying on the support of APA-Service, a creation of the APA.

The Alsace-Europe Observatory

The Observatory maintains ongoing debate on the role of Alsace in tomorrow’s Europe. Led by APA and the Alsace Office, it mobilises Alsatian decision-makers around a regional development strategy in a rapidly changing Union.
