Very early on it was decided that the seminar week would not take place in this year’s Forum and that Alpbach would be organized as a hybrid conference taking place between 23.08 - 03.09. 2020. Our motto was: "If the Forum could take place in 1945, it will take place in 2020". With this year's Forum, Alpbach set an important sign of life in the time of this crisis! It should be emphasized that - FAN and Alumni Clubs contributed decentralized, organized events (digital/analogue interlinked) for the first time, which were an equivalent part of the further programme of the EFA 2020 Online Conference. - the EFA could only take place physically on site on a very small scale and an elaborate COVID-19 prevention concept was implemented. - we were able to develop new formats for a hybrid conference in a very short time and in high quality (online conference, video production). 2 With the implementation of the EFA we succeeded in achieving the following goals: 1. Staff, volunteers and participants on site were protected and legal requirements were met. Partners of the EFA and local catering establishments complied with the legal requirements. 2. It was ensured that the EFA continued to act as a relevant source of inspiration, that stakeholders were involved, and that partnerships could be maintained this year. 3. We used the crisis as an opportunity and reinvented the Forum as a hybrid format. 4. The financial damage to the EFA was kept as low as possible. 5. The FAN (clubs/alumni) were strengthened in their role through their active involvement in the programme design. 6. EFA alumni were activated by the allocation of free sponsored tickets to this target group. 7. The EFA was able to lay the foundation for similar future hybrid events, which address a broader digital target group. 8. The Alpbach hosts (CCA, hotel industry) were not let down, which is highly appreciated. The EFA showed continuity and perseverance to the outside world. 9. Pictures and videos could be produced for subsequent years and the media response was excellent (see APA press review). General Information about the programme: Programme EFA2020 • 283 sessions, 63 of them hybrid, 160 virtual, 58 analogue. Of all sessions, 86 were organized with the Forum Alpach Network, 106 with external cooperation partners and 27 by the AIT. This does not include closed sessions or working meetings, nor purely analogue meetings taking place in decentralized hubs organized by the FAN. • 477 speakers, 43% of them women; 196 moderators, 50% of them women • Due to the dissolution of the symposia, 10 thematic strands were defined in the programme for a better orientation for participants. The following number of sessions was located within the strands of topics o 16 Arts & Culture o 61 COVID-19 o 37 Digitization & Innovation o 43 Economy & Financial Markets o 19 Health o 28 Law & Human Rights o 79 Politics & Democracy o 56 Social Cohesion o 41 Sustainability o 27 Technology (exclusive day for the AIT to filter the programme) • On average, the online sessions were very well attended, varying according to topic, time slot and prominence of the speakers, with 70-900 participants per session. The top visited session was the one with UN SG Guterres, with almost 1000 participants. In addition, new target groups could be addressed via live streams (e.g. politico, IMF) and even higher numbers of visitors could be reached. • The hybrid format made it possible to integrate speakers in different ways this year and also offered flexibility in terms of time. On the one hand, the EFA has succeeded in physically welcoming numerous high-ranking guests to Alpbach despite massive restrictions on their freedom of travel and movement. On the other hand, however, the possibility of digital connectivity has made it possible to attract very high-ranking speakers to the EFA at short notice and at low cost, and to provide virtual connectivity for those who had to cancel their travel at short notice due to the pandemic. 3 Selection of High-Level Speakers Politics and International Organizations • Michelle Bachelet, United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Geneva • Valdis Dombrovskis, Executive Vice-President, European Commission, Brussels (+6 representatives from the European Commission and several former EC members) • Kristalina Georgieva, Managing Director, International Monetary Fund, Washington • Angel Gurria, Secretary-General, Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, Paris • António Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations, New York City • Ban Ki-moon, 8th Secretary General of the United Nations; Co-chair, Ban Ki-moon Centre for Global Citizens, Vienna • Hans Henri P.

The scenery of Alpbach and the recognition value of the Forum was thus used to produce "High Quality Content" for the EFA and its partners enable promotion after the Forum. In cooperation with Terra Mater Factual Studios and a production team, 28 Alm Talks (recorded breakout sessions) were recorded in Alpbach on the roof of the Congress Centre, the Rossmoos Inn, and on the Schafalm. The digital distribution of the mainly German-language content will take place in autumn 2020. The format of the Alm Talks was very well received by cooperation partners and speakers. Especially the exclusive location (Schafalm) away from the CCA premises and the
