EFA26 Highlights
Until the next European Forum Alpbach – from 23 August to 3 September 2027 – we invite you to revisit some of the highlights of EFA26.
EFA26 in Numbers
EFA26 brought together 4,800 participants – including 700 scholarship holders selected from more than 6,000 applications – and concluded with a powerful message of renewal and unity. Under the theme "How Europe Wins," over 185 partners and supporters joined the Forum to tackle the future of Europe's economic, social, and institutional resilience. Throughout the event, engagement was exceptional, with extraordinary guests including five heads of state.
Alpbach Manifesto
Europe will not be shaped by ideas alone. The Alpbach Manifesto turns the essence of EFA26’s daily Solution Hours into action and provides a framework for the future we choose to build together.
