The European Forum Alpbach
The European Forum Alpbach (EFA) is the gathering in Europe where a unique concentration of young talent convenes for two weeks in the Austrian Alps to engage around the thematic tracks of Climate, Democracy and the Rule of Law, Finance and Economy, and Security.
EFA brings young changemakers from across Europe and the world together with leaders in politics, business, civil society, culture, and science to inspire actions for a resilient and democratic Europe.
Club Alpbach Switzerland
Club Alpbach Switzerland is the official EFA ambassador in Switzerland. We bring young leaders from Switzerland to Alpbach through scholarships, host events in Switzerland and Alpbach, and facilitate a continued exchange to spark inspiration and action for Europe.
Founded and led by former EFA scholarship holders, Club Alpbach Switzerland brings the unique Swiss perspective into the broader European discussions.
