Our Core Partners

ERST Egroup

Erste Group

"Europe is facing new challenges and an increasingly uncertain environment. Central issues such as peace, democracy and human rights have taken on a new urgency. Together, we must face these challenges not fearfully, but resolutely. With a clear vision, strong commitment and bold ideas. It is up to us to jointly shape the promise the future holds for Europe. As the European Forum Alpbach’s Main Partner, we are eager to discuss and develop ideas for a stronger and more resilient Europe."

OSF

Open Society Foundations

“The Open Society Foundations support efforts by the European Union and likeminded European countries to play a stronger role globally — standing their ground in the face of sharpening conflict between authoritarianism and democracy, as well as uncertainties about Washington’s role in the world. We support European policy groups and think tanks that help policymakers assess their options and envisage new possibilities. Drawing on Open Society’s global network, we also seek to connect the Global South to Brussels and Strasbourg as we seek to engage Europe’s political leaders and legislators with their global responsibilities.”

“The answers to the most burning questions in our ever-changing world lie in some form of cooperation and exchange. No single country, no single institution or individual will solve the climate crisis, curb the side effects of technological disruption, decrease inequality, or dismantle the many conflicts of our time. With fears, insecurity and polarisation on the rise, exchange and collaboration among people from very different fields, age groups and geography has never been more important, in order to find new ideas, hope and joy. A resilient, democratic, united Europe needs places where an open debate is possible, and new ideas can flourish into concrete actions and tangible impacts.”

Serve the Purpose

Bring your specific expertise to the official conference programme. We seek a variety of perspectives in our programme and are curious about your input.

Community Building:

Reach out to relevant stakeholders and meet new allies. We connect people in substantial ways and thus create stable networks beyond the annual event.
