The European Forum Alpbach (EFA) is an annual, interdisciplinary conference for science, politics, business and culture. It is a unique opportunity for young people to engage in discussions about the future of Europe; they have the opportunity to participate at the event with a scholarship: https://www.alpbach.org/blog/scholarship-programme
The 2024 edition – “Moment of truth” – will be held between August 17 and August 30 in Alpbach, Austria. Focusing on ideas for a “Moment of truth” reflects the crucial decisions that have to be made in 2024. With over 70 elections worldwide, this year is a decisive one.
Alpbach is an inspirational place that opens minds and souls for Europe’s future. A forum that generates ideas and sparks action. One of the former scholarship holders describes it as «an absolutely outstanding opportunity for young minds to interact, discuss, build friendships and collaborations and to promote positive changes in the future.»
An EFA scholarship enables students, young professionals and changemakers to attend a variety of seminars for scientific progress, personal development or artistic expression. Alpbach Seminars provide five intense days of individual growth in the fields of choice.
The conference features four different thematic tracks:
- Security
- Democracy and the Rule of Law
- Finance and Economy
- Climate
EFA brings together young people from Europe and from all over the world with the most innovative minds from politics, business, civil society, culture, and science to drive ideas for a strong and democratic Europe. With this diverse, intergenerational, and interdisciplinary community, the Forum influences key actors throughout the European continent to facilitate their learning and decisions.
An EFA scholarship covers the participation fee and your accommodation for the entire duration of EFA23 (17 August to August 30 2024). Additionally, EFA scholarship holders receive a daily allowance of EUR 25,-/day.
