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.
