Erhard Busek was a great thinker, a giant of inspiration and a versatile man of action. He had been connected with Alpbach since his youth and was President of the EFA for ten years. He was a tireless supporter of the Forum Alpbach Network, which grew to over 30 clubs under his presidency. The "Spirit of Alpbach" is cultivated from London to Armenia all year round. Matthias Strolz (co-editor) together with Pres. Andreas Treichl (co-author) and other companions present the book “Denken, Aufrütteln, Gestalten. Erinnerungen an Erhard Busek” (Thinking, Shacking up, Forming. Memories of Erhard Busek”). A shared in-memoriam. Stories to think about, smile and be amazed.
