Description
European Forum Alpach 2016 will be held under the main topic “New Enlightenment” from 17 August till 2 September in the village of Alpbach in the Austrian Alps.
Every year, about 4,000 participants from over 60 countries meet to discuss emerging trends in eight broad fields: technology, law, European and international affairs, financial markets, economy, public health, higher education and architecture and urban planning. Each of these fields has a dedicated “symposium” in the conference schedule. All of the events, however, are united by a loose, overarching theme: in 2016, the European Forum Alpbach takes on the question of “New Enlightenment”.
The full program of the EFA16 is available HERE.
