in: Camps | 12.02.2015

Deadline: 28 February 2015

Open to: students or recent graduates
Venue: 19 August - 4 September 2015, Alpbach, Austria

Description
In 2015, the European Forum Alpbach takes on the question of InEquality. Public discourse goes back and forth
between the two positions: the negative outlook describes inequality as a deficiency hampering opportunities and
reducing resources, whereas the positive interpretation considers it a driver for change and diversity.
The European Forum Alpbach organises a number of events in addition to its main summer conference. These panel
discussions and conferences last between one evening and three days. Austrian and international representatives of
politics, business, culture and academia engage in a lively dialogue with the audience at these events, just as in
Alpbach.
