European Forum Alpbach Scholarship

With "Construction and Reality" as its general theme in 2010, the European Forum Alpbach (19th August to 04th September) undertakes to analyse an omnipresent dichotomy. Whether it is in science, in the arts, in politics or in economics: humanity has always tried to understand the way that leads from a concept to its realisation, or to bridge the gap between the two. The global financial and economic crisis has proven that despite modern forecasting technologies and the globe-spanning communication network, our topic remains as relevant as ever.

The European Forum Alpbach 2010 will give its participants a choice of 14 one-week seminars which will analyse the manifold relationships between "Construction and Reality" in a variety of academic fields. The Alpbach Symposia will approach the topic offering a more practice-oriented vantage point. A plethora of panel discussions will give you the opportunity to debate the most burning current issues in the fields of healthcare, technology, economics, international politics, space planning and financial markets. Summer Schools for European Law and Health Care, as well as a rich cultural agenda, complete the programme.

Our international interdisciplinary conference offers an opportunity to enter into discussion with renowned personalities. In a unique atmosphere, experts from politics, business and academia will discuss burning issues of our times with the participants. An extensive social programme gives participants the chance to continue debates outside the conference and seminar rooms. The special nature of the European Forum now brings more than 3,500 participants to the Tyrolean village of Alpbach every year.

To enable young people to share in this experience, we offer scholarships for students and recent graduates with the kind support of our donors.
