Until January 2002, the European Forum was placed within the secretariat of the Party of European Socialists (PES) in Brussels. Since then, the coordination and daily work is being done from the Netherlands. Since January 2003, the Foundation Max van der Stoel (FMS) is responsible for the coordination of the Forum and the implementation of the working program. Before 2013, the FMS was known as the Alfred Mozer Stichting (AMS).
