Fundación Galicia Europa is a non-profit-making institution created to promote all the actions that favour a closer relationship between Galicia and Europe. It was established in 1988 and it is made up of several public and private Galician entities, being now part of the Galicia public sector. It is open to collaboration with all the institutions representing the economic and social Galician life and pursuing the same aims.

Since its creation, the directorship of Fundación Galicia Europa has been functionally linked to the Xunta de Galicia. Nowadays, the department of the regional administration in charge of Fundación Galicia Europa has been the General Directory of Foreign Affairs and EU Relations from the Regional Ministry of Presidency, Civil Service and Justice of the Galician Government. The Galician President is the Director of the Fundación and the General Director of External Affairs is the Managing Director. The reason of this bond is to achieve a better coordination of all the European related actions undertaken by the different Galician sectors.
