Rethinking Europe – Lessons from 30 Years
2025 marks 30 years of Austria’s EU membership — a milestone that not only inspires national reflection but also a broader European conversation. What have three decades of European integration taught us across member states? How has the Union shaped its citizens’ lives, and how can it remain resilient for the future? Ministers from Austria, Hungary, and Slovenia, together with the President of the European Forum Alpbach, will reflect on Europe’s achievements and look forward to the challenges and opportunities of the next 30 years.
