    Initiative Group Alpbach Podgorica The European Forum Alpbach (EFA) The European Forum Alpbach (EFA) was founded in 1945, with the aim to promote the idea of European unity and to contribute to the process of peaceful unification of Europe. The Forum’s goals are to promote peace and stability through scientific cooperation, to encourage international collaboration and networking of young people and to contribute to development of the civil society. To achieve these goals, many simposiums are held at the Forum, such as architectoral, reform, economic, technological, political and medical simposium. The Forum is held in a small Tyrolean village Alpbach, every year from mid-August until the beginning of September. The Forum achieved remarkable reputation due to the fact that it had as participants, for many years, people like Karl Popper, Friedrich Hayek, Ban Ki-moon and other prominent leaders from many scientific and other areas. Nowadays, regular participants of the Forum are numerous government representatives, representatives of the EU institutions, as well as Nobel Prize laureats. Chairman of the Forum is dr Franz Fischler, the EU Commissioner for Agriculture, Rural Development and Fisheries (1995–2004) and former Federal Minister for Agriculture and Forestry in the Government of Austria. The profile of Montenegrin representatives can speak the best of importance of the EFA for Montenegro. In the recent years, Montenegrin representatives at the Forum were: current Prime Minister of Montenegro Igor Lukšić, prominent university professors Gordana Đurović (former Minister of the European Integration), Miodrag Perović and Milan Popović, Reis of the Islamic Community in Montenegro Rifat Fejzić, and others.

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.

Speakers, and participants form all parts of the world, renowned experts representing sciences, business and politics, and students meet in Alpbach to discuss current issues in an interdisciplinary setting.

The conference comprises seminars, panel discussions and workshops on a wide variety of topics ranging from international politics and economics to healthcare and technology. In addition, a total of five Summer Schools are run as part of the event. The Alpbach Summer School on European Integration is one of them, the one with longest track record going back to 1992.

  • Call for Application
    Call for Application Scholarship Opportunity for Professionals from Central and Eastern Europe The European Forum Alpbach The European Forum Alpbach stands for future oriented dialogue between stakeholders who shape peaceful and democratic coexistence in Europe. With the support of the National Endowment of Democracy (NED), the European Forum Alpbach has successfully supported civil society activists, journalists and academics from Central and Eastern Europe over the past three years. Due to rising authoritarian tendencies across Europe, this target group has less and less possibilities to connect and let their voice be heard. The programme is consolidated this year: With NED’s support, we will enable the participation at the European Forum Alpbach for selected professionals. They can acquire the tools, knowledge and contacts they need in order to strengthen the civic spaces in their home countries within exclusive workshops during the conference. This year for the first time, the Forum will be a 12-day online conference (23.08.-03.09.2020). We will receive inputs from partner organisations all over the world. Together we will discuss the restart of our societies after the pandemic and the Fundamentals of our future. The Opportunity Are you working in the field of civil society, media and academia in Central and Eastern Europe*? Would you like to share your expertise on the strengths and weaknesses of democracy in your country? In cooperation with the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), the European Forum Alpbach Foundation offers scholarships for professionals to participate at the European Forum Alpbach 2020 online conference (23.08.-03.09.2020) and to take part in further online networking events organised especially for NED scholarship holders (between 28.08.

  • IG Alpbach Armenia
    IG Alpbach Armenia European Forum Alpbach Associate Member Yerevan, Armenia Founded in December 2011 www.igalpbach.am www.alpbach.org Who we are IG Alpbach Armenia is an associate member of the European Forum Alpbach (EFA) – a well-known and authoritative Austrian charitable foundation which was founded in 1945 and has been promoting the European values and integration so far. The EFA welcomes the initiative of Armenian youth to be engaged in the European think tanks network providing all necessary measures to the talented people in their aspirations. In February 2011 with the permission of the EFA based in Vienna, several former participants of the EFA under the leadership Marine Sargsyan put together their efforts and founded the Initiative Group Alpbach in Armenia which was registered as an non-profit youth organisation in the Republic of Armenia. This was a step of a significant importance as Armenia became the first country in the South Caucasus to establish the Alpbach Initiative Group. The establishment of the IGAA already contributes to the development of relations between Armenia and Austria, Armenia and EU, opening new perspectives for further cooperation. The Armenian youth gets a chance to participate not only in Austrian, but also in pan-European educational, cultural and youth events. Taking into account the fact the South Caucasus is currently included in the European Neighbourhood Policy and the Eastern Partnership which operates within its framework, and that the EFA activities are specifically promoting the knowledge about Europe, the creation of IG Alpbach Armenia is remarkable. The IGAA is open for Diasporas youth, and aimed to represent Armenia in the international level going hand in hand with young and talented Armenian individuals from homeland and Diaspora, encouraging and supporting their initiatives to participate in one of the best European think tanks.
