Are you a student or recent graduate? Do you want to participate in the European Forum Alpbach 2014?

(24/03/2014)

From August 13 to 29, 2014, 4.000 people from over 60 countries will once again come to the Tyrolian mountain village of Alpbach to discuss and explore current issues in the interdisciplinary setting of our conference. In 2014, the European Forum Alpbach will deal with the topic "At the Crossroads".

The Non-Profit Foundation of the European Forum Alpbach offers scholarships, with the kind support of our donors, to enable young people to share in this experience.

We put a special emphasis on the active participation of young students and recent graduates from all around the world. In Alpbach, we offer them the opportunity to enter into an informal discussion with high-ranking experts and renowned personalities on the burning issues of our times. An extensive social programme gives participants the chance to continue debates outside the conference and seminar rooms.

The European Forum Alpbach 2014 will give its participants a choice of 16 one-week seminars which will deal with the topic "At the Crossroads" in a great variety of academic fields. The Alpbach Symposia will approach the topic from a more practice-oriented vantage point. A large number of panel discussions will give you the opportunity to debate the most burning current issues in the fields of healthcare, technology, economics, international politics, law, spatial planning and financial markets. Summer Schools for European Law and Health Care, as well as a rich cultural programme, complete the agenda. Please have a look at the first programme outline at www.alpbach.org/programme>.

I cordially invite you to apply for a scholarship. Please also forward this message to colleagues who might be interested.

For more details about the scholarship programme please have a look at our website www.alpbach.org/scholarships.

PS: In numerous European countries, former participants have founded independent alumni groups, so-called Alpbach Initiative Groups and Clubs. These associations offer additional scholarship opportunities and organise events in the spirit of Alpbach. Together they form the Forum Alpbach Network (FAN). An overview of all members of this network can be found at http://www.alpbach.org/fan.
