The European Forum Alpbach 2013 will deal with the general topic “Experiences and Values”. The relationship between these two concepts is fraught with tensions. While the experience of two World Wars had increasingly called traditional values into question in the first half of the 20th century, it became possible to enshrine human dignity in constitutions and to promote European integrati-on based on a comprehensive charter of fundamental rights in the past century’s second half, so that a new war between the former European rivals has become virtually impossible.

The question we need to answer now is how much influence expe-riences and/or values are to have on decisions regarding our future. These days, individual and collective experiences are not consistent and open to different interpretations. In all fields of life, our society is determined by an increasing diversity of partly conflicting values. Ever more pronounced social imbalances clearly show that the values our society is based on may not be sustainable.

The tensions between social developments, our values and expecta-tions will, however, continue to be the most important driving forces behind our decisions and actions. In Alpbach, we want to find out how a democratic Europe will deal with these tensions in the future and what a future determined by these tensions may look like.

FRANZ FISCHLER PRESIDENT

– I N T E R V I E W –

If the October Revolution in 1917 had not taken place in Russia but in Austria, we would probably not be talking about a ‘revolu-tion’ today, but about continuing an old tradition. Austrians do not like to break with traditions. Franz Fischler, the President of the European Forum Alpbach, and Philippe Narval, the Manag-ing Director, also follow this idea. They are planning and going to change a lot while retaining certain traditions.

Philippe Narval believes that genuine departures from tradi-tion are best achieved by ‘small interventions’, anything else would just be a ‘show’.

This, of course, does not mean that the Forum’s President and Managing Director have lowered their ambitions: ‘We want the Forum to become an avant-garde venue for developing new ideas,’ says Franz Fischler. Alpbach is not intended to become ‘an event where only the bosses meet’, like the WEF in Davos, but a venue for addressing ‘the issues of our times’ in a serious way. Fischler

Old Revolutionary TraditionsFranz Fischler and Philippe Narval about the present and future of the European Forum Alpbach.By Michael Fleischhacker, Head of the Alpbach Media Academy

and Narval both think that in order to do this an interdiscipli-nary approach is required. Today’s most crucial issues ‘can-not be tackled by experts only’. We need ‘creative minds’ who might not be affiliated to any of the traditional disciplines. This is why artists will be involved in the discussions to a greater extent, in addition to providing an inspiring cultural pro-gramme.

Fischler and Narval emphasise that the Forum should not ‘only deal with the mainstream posi-tions’ on current issues. To achieve this aim, there will be fewer sessions with lenghty presentations, making it possible to have more interactive break-out sessions. Apart from that, Fischler and Narval want to use more controversial ‘one-on-one’ formats, for example during this year’s Economic Symposium. These formats are intended to allow for an in-depth examina-tion of different positions. The President and the Managing Director hope for the audience’s acceptance of these new for-

mats. They do not take this for granted since, as they point out, ‘Austrians do not like to break with traditions’.

One of these departures from tradition is concealed in 2013’s general topic ‘Experiences and Values’, which may sound rather broad at first glance. Seen from a rather traditional point of view, society is not conceivable with-out values, neither is letting ‘things happen the way they happen’. Do we want to continue trying to adapt our constantly changing reality to obsolete

2 3

value systems, or should we rather try to accept the unpre-dictability of developments and define suitable contemporary values? Raising this question may indeed be potentially revo-lutionary.

The potential of bringing togeth-er contrasting and contradictory positions plays a vital role in Franz Fischler’s plans for the future of the European Forum Alpbach. One of the organisa-tion’s most interesting new pro-jects is the newly launched political innovation lab ‘Re:think’

which took place for the first time in the early summer of 2013 in Linz and involved a very diverse group of political stake-holders, with affiliations ranging from the (political) far left to the far right, from NGOs to those of major corporations.

Philippe Narval stresses that the annual Forum in Alpbach will, of course, remain the central event: ‘After all, there is no other gath-ering in Europe where such a high number of young people can come in direct contact with elite decision-makers’. Moreover,

according to Narval, the sponsor-ing partners from the business community increasingly see the young people whose participa-tion they support as a resource for new ideas and fresh thinking. This approach will not be limited to the three weeks in August: The year-round programme will be expanded by activties such as the ‘Re:think’ project. To this end, EFA has recently established a cooper-ation with the Laxenburg based IIASA (International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis).

Like a Phoenix from the Ashes? How to Rescue Europe’s Unity

from the Crisis

By Sonja Puntscher Riekmann, Vice President of the European Forum Alpbach

European integration is no longer being portrayed as a success story. In particular enthusiasm about the Euro as a central project of Europe’s unification process has waned, whereas further political deepening is highly contested, leadership is lack-ing, negotiations are cumbersome and their outcomes are precarious. The financial and fiscal crisis has unleashed a flurry regarding policies and new institutions inside and outside EU law, which increase the complexity and opaqueness. The promises of democracy and better governance enshrined in the Treaty of Lisbon are being broken and the citizens’ confidence in the EU is diminish-ing. The divide between creditors and debtors is growing, and euro-sceptic protest parties are on the rise on both sides. Is this gloomy picture to persist or even deteriorate? Will it be possible to keep up the European values of democracy and prosperity, to maintain freedom and the European way of life in the face of the experiences we are currently going through? How can the European Union, which is often depicted as a normative power, promote its values on a global scale if it is unable to resolve its internal problems?

The European Forum Alpbach is an ideal setting for discussing the above questions without any prejudices and taboos. Resolutions depend on realism about past failures and future options. We also need to make up our minds about whether we want to preserve Europe’s unity. If unity is the goal, we need to devise appropriate strategies. Any strategic thinking has to start from the questions “What went wrong?” and “Why?”. We do know some fundamentals such as the unsustainability of the peculiar imbalances between monetary and economic union, the former being highly central-ised and the latter being by and large decentral-ised; or the pronounced economic asymmetries

between member states persisting and growing after twenty years of constructing the monetary union; the detrimental consequences of austerity for growth and employment; the soaring income divide between and within member states; the decline of relative power of the Union in the world and the concomitant belief of some members to be better off if they went alone; and finally, the erosion of democratic standards at EU and national levels in the process of solving the crisis. Tackling all these issues at once is a daunting task. There is a lack of leadership. EU institutions, such as the Commission or the Parliament, are sidelined or even paralysed, while the intergovernmental mode of governance only produces solutions in fits and starts, and even if any solutions are reached, they may then still be challenged by national parlia-ments, courts and constituencies. Germany is defined as the “reluctant hegemon” (The Econo-mist), the Franco-German tandem has virtually fallen apart, the UK is indulging in eccentricity, and other Northerners in silence, while other member states are struggling to cope with asym-metric shocks. Only the ECB seems to levitate above this conundrum, promising to do “whatever it takes” to save the Euro.

While the ECB may be in a position to alleviate the aggression of global financial markets, it neither has a mandate to create growth, nor to reduce structural imbalances. Solidarity – a much used term in the Treaty of Lisbon – has to come from the member states. Solidarity is not altruism but emerges from a common definition of problems and common efforts to overcome them. Thus, the key questions are whether Europeans perceive the current problems as common to all and finding solutions as a collective task and whether political elites indulge in catering only to their national

– W I L L KO M M E N –

electorates or whether they perceive themselves as representatives of Europe as a whole. If they decide to take the latter stance, distribution from the haves to the have-nots is compelling – not as an altruistic gesture, but in the name of preserving unity while accommodating diverging interests. Only if the needs of all the member states can be satisfied by being part of the Union will it be possi-ble for the European enterprise to succeed. This implies that member states have to comply with the rules they have agreed upon voluntarily. The integ-rity of the Union as a whole much depends on completing the “incomplete contracts” set up with the Euro and the Stability and Growth Pact. They are incomplete owing to the blindness of contract-ing parties regarding the destabilising impacts of the common currency in case of asymmetric

shocks. Enhancing surveillance and punishment as through the Fiscal Pact alone will not do it. Strict rules are important, but will not lead to growth and employment, let alone socio-economic conver-gence. Genuine fiscal federalism, including condi-tional transfers, constitutes a possible solution, as demonstrated by other integration projects such as the US in the 19th and 20th centuries. It would, however, entail completion of contracts and a reopening of the constitutional debate. There is no guarantee, but if the EU is to rise from the ashes resulting from the blast caused by the financial crisis and the ensuing sovereign debt crisis, finding a new “constitutional moment” is worthwhile trying.

Research Project on the History of the European Forum

Alpbach Launched

By Maria Wirth, historian and researcher on the Alpbach History Project

In 2015, we will celebrate the 70th anniversary of the European Forum Alpbach. For this occasion, the Forum has asked the Department of Contem-porary History of the University of Vienna chaired by Professor Oliver Rathkolb to conduct a study on its history. This critical historical examination focuses not only on the institutional and organisa-tional development of the Forum and on the people who shaped it, but also on the Forum’s contributions to the renewal of intellectual and scientific life in post-war Europe.

The European Forum Alpbach was founded in 1945 under the name “Internationale Hochschul-wochen” (International Summer Seminars) and was one of the first international intellectual events to be held in Europe after the Second World War had left it in ruins. Two of the founders were the student Otto Molden (1918-2002), who had been part of the middle-class resistance against the National Socialist regime, and junior professor of philosophy Simon Moser (1901-1988). Their aim was to contribute to a “reconstruction of intellectual life” after National Socialism and the Second World War, and to initiate a dialogue between old adversaries. What was planned as a one-time event was continued the very next year and has been held every year since. In 1949, “European Forum Alpbach” was added to the name (although “Inter-nationale Hochschulwochen” remained part of the title until 1970).

Over the years, the European Forum Alpbach became a forum of interdisciplinary dialogue with topics ranging from science, art and culture to politics, economy and financial matters, and later also including technology, health and archi-tecture. Europe was always afforded a special place in its cultural, political and economic dis-course. Many people of international renown as well as Austrian scientists and artists who had had to emigrate in the 1930s and 1940s were regular guests in Alpbach. With its decidedly international outlook, the European Forum Alpbach not only became a counterpoint to the mostly inward-oriented Austrian post-war society, but also made important contributions to the development of European thinking.

The Alpbach History Project, which is supported by the Future Fund of the Republic of Austria, will analyse how the relationships between the differ-ent scientific disciplines in Alpbach developed, which trends of the time were reflected upon in Alpbach, and which schools of thought (e.g. in the domain of philosophy due to Karl Popper’s influ-ence) became particularly important for the Euro-pean Forum Alpbach. The project will also exam-ine how Alpbach stimulated scientific andintellectual development after World War II: Hans Albert, Theodor W. Adorno, Paul Feyerabend, Friedrich August von Hayek, Arthur Koestler, Lise Meitner, Karl Popper and Erwin Schrödinger are but a few of the many intellectuals and scientists who were regular guests in Alpbach.

Looking at the topics of the European Forum Alpbach also from a cultural and artistic perspective is essential for us. This year, we aim to achieve a stronger integration of arts and culture in the conference programme by connecting certain cultural highlights to the respective topics of the Sym-posia. In this programme you will find those events marked in yellow. In addition, the cultural programme offers a great variety of events, ranging from classical to modern music concerts, from theatre improvisations to cabaret, from film screenings to readings, and from exhibitions of the fine arts to highly innovative formats.

At the very heart of the Europe-an Forum Alpbach is the Semi-nar Week, which takes place in the village’s secondary school (Hauptschule) during the Forum’s first week. Up to sixteen semi-nars are offered, dedicated to various scientific disciplines, covering subjects that are at the forefront of scientific research. The tradition of these seminars goes back to the beginning of the Forum, when in August 1945, after the end of World War II, a small number of students and professors came together in Alpbach to discuss scientific issues of general interest.

An interdisciplinary body of em-inent scholars, chaired by Peter C. Aichelburg, is responsible for the programming of the Seminar

Week. The topics of the seminars range from biology, chemistry and medicine to political science, sociology and economics as well as literature and art history. Cur-rent issues are analysed theoreti-cally, and theories are elucidated through practical examples.

Each seminar is taught by two renowned experts who present cutting-edge science while keep-ing the lectures and discussions accessible to everyone. This way, physicists may discover their en-thusiasm for English literature, economists can take on anthro-pology etc. However, the learn-ing experience does not end in the classroom. Following the Alpbach tradition in which any place can become home to an intellectual debate, spontaneous

Alpbach Seminar Week

discussions frequently spring up: during a morning hike, a lunch-time picnic or an evening at the local village inn.

This year, under the general top-ic “Experiences and Values”, the seminars will cover a wide range of subjects reaching from the problematic issue of democratic interventions, human rights and the role of the European Court of Human Rights, to highly topical questions concerning open data and cyberspace. Furthermore, they will debate the “value of sci-ence”, inquire about the conflict-ing aspects and ethics of the use of natural resources, and discuss the technical and political as-pects of “exploring the universe”.

Experiences and ValuesThe seminar week is the scientific centrepiece of the European Forum Alpbach. 16 interdisciplinary one-week seminars approach the general topic from different scienti-fic perspectives. Each seminar is accompanied by two renowned experts. They introduce the participants to the latest findings from theory and practice in their respective fields of expertise and create room for interdisciplinary exchange and intensive discussion, outside the established research institutions. The seminars are organised by the EFA’s Scientific Advisory Board which is chaired by Peter C. Aichelburg.

Who Decides Health?Decision-making processes relating to issues of health and illness are complex and require the involvement of all stake-holders. It is often the case that decisions have to be taken without being able to predict their consequences with any degree of certainty. This year’s Health Symposium will focus on the question “Who decides health?” To which extent do social determinants influence our health? Which priorities do we have to set, and how? Can evidence-based medicine help us to take the right decisions? What are the guidelines for medical research and treat-ment? How is the legal and political framework defined? How can patients be equipped with health competence?

Summer School on European Health Care and Social Systems Since 2008, the European Forum Alpbach has organised the Eng-lish-language Summer School ‘Health Care and Social Systems’. This summer school addresses the current issue of organising and fi-nancing a health and social sys-tem, the influences and trends that have to be taken into account as well as ways of building a sus-tainable model for the future. Through lectures by eminent in-ternational scholars and numerous case studies, participants will build scenarios for the healthcare systems in their home countries.

Especially in the medical device industry, the employees’ know how provides the basis for a successful business.

It allows professional service and advice, both crucial for a well-established client relation-ship. Fully-trained staff ensures safety and reliability for the patient as well as for the pre-scribing doctors and donors alike. Eventually, this is a determinate factor for the positive reputation of products as well as companies. One of AUSTROMED´s main goals is to provide high-level educational support for our members´ employees and interested third parties.

Through the AUSTROMED Academy, AUSTROMED combines all relevant activities. Its semi-nars (standard seminars and in house trainings according to individual requirements), train-ings sessions and workshops provide a valuable foundation or supplement for companies´ internal training and education activities.

Further information regarding seminars focusing on different topics can be found at: www.austromed.org/akademie

AUSTROMED is the leading Austrian representation for all companies engaged in the development, production, processing and distribution of medical devices in Austria. Around 9,000 employees are working in AUSTROMED´s member companies generating a direct output of 3,4 billion Euro in the Austrian economy per year.

Alpbach Summer School on European Integration Every year since 1992, the Alpbach Summer School on European Inte-gration has offered a compact yet comprehensive course on the law and policies of the European Com-munity (EC) and of the European Union (EU). The Alpbach Summer School on European Integration welcomes students from Austria and from other countries. Together they enjoy the challenge of an in-tensive two weeks’ learning expe-rience. This summer school, the only one of its kind in Austria, is run in parallel English and Ger-man language classes. It is desig-ned to assist students in acquiring a basic understanding of the wor-kings of the EC-EU, to equip them with the skills required to analy-se socio-economic and legal issues of European integration and, more generally, to introduce them to a culture and practice of animated debate of contemporary problems facing European integration.

Alpbach Media Academy

Twelve young journalists from all across Europe have joined our newly founded Media Acad-emy this year. They were nomi-nated as top of their class by cen-tres of excellence from all across the continent. The journalists will report from the European Forum Alpbach using various forms of media, engaging with our community, our seminars and the most relevant speakers and debates. With the Alpbach Media Academy, we contribute to the hands-on training of these young journalists. In special sessions, academy members

will work with renowned inter-national colleagues, experts and mentors. At the same time, the academy will bring the best content of the Forum – critically reviewed and analysed – to a global audience.

The articles, video clips, pictures and social media contributions by academy journalists can be found on our official website. Special issue dossiers will be made available after the Forum and will cover focus areas such as European Integration, Tech-nology and Innovation, and

Cyberspace in depth. The Alpbach Media Academy is led by the Austrian journalist Michael Fleischhacker, former editor-in-chief of the Austrian broadsheet paper Die Presse. Marianne Peters, former Presi-dent of the European Journalism Training Association, functions as its strategic advisor.

Euroregion Tyrol – Value Creation through InnovationInnovations are an important driving force in mature economies. They guarantee competitiveness and allow us to maintain our high level of prosperity, also in the Euroregion Tyrol. Innovation is often only considered in economic and technological terms. The Tyrol Day 2013 will highlight that innovation has to be considered in a more comprehensive way and is required in all sectors of society.

European Union: With or Without You?Despite current problems and controversial decisions, we believe that European integration is necessary and essential if Europe wants to continue to play an important role in a globalised world. The Alpbach Perspectives 2013 will there-fore deal with the development of a sustainable European social and economic model. The plenary and breakout sessi-ons will discuss topics such as European values, youth unemployment, the future of the welfare state, education, innovation, as well as the difficult balancing act between democracy and efficiency and the tensions between austeri-ty programmes and the promotion of growth.

“Foreign” by Miriam Fassbender The documentary film “Foreign” follows the journey of young Mali Mohamed to Europe, on his way to escape poverty. This movie seeks to unveil the reasons behind his migration and uncover his dai-ly struggles. His attempt to escape poverty brings him on one of the oldest routes ‘to a better life’ run-ning from Western Africa through Algeria and Morocco to Spain. This film bears witness to a long-time journey and the hardships of surviving in the unknown.

Europe in the Media Is it still true that the so-called yel-low press is keen to hype scandals and hence to nurture populism and euroscepticism, while other media tend to cultivate an elite discourse or ignore the matter altogether?

Transportation, energy supply, opinion-forming, banking transactions and many other areas are based on information processing and provision. But how important is information to modern society? Can we still imagine and manage our lives without information? What are the threats to such data, and how can these threats be reduced? A high-level panel will discuss these questions. The Universities of Applied Sciences Forum addresses all stakeholders in the field of higher education, researchers, industry partners, media representatives as well as students.

Markets and MoralsThe University Forum will provide food for thought for reassessing the role of the markets and their moral limits in our everyday lives. The lectures will in particular touch on questions concerning the role, the development and the erosion of morals in the markets. A wide range of markets – ranging from markets in medicine to traditio-nal financial markets – and moral aspects relating to these markets will be addressed in the context of related scientific fields. We will also focus on the role of the markets in democratic societies, shedding light on the relevant norms for marketing social activities and a fair access to goods.

Alpbach in Motion

We believe that a new generation of committed young European leaders can come up with new perspectives and fresh ideas for Europe’s current challenges. This is why we have created Alpbach in Motion (AIM) – The Summit of Emerging Leaders: forty selected leaders between 30 and 40 years of age with diverse backgrounds in business, start-ups, social busi-ness, the creative industries and the arts will gather at this year’s Forum in Alpbach to spend two intense days elaborating ideas and specific solutions to a highly topical issue.

The 2013 AIM summit will tackle one of the most funda-mental challenges posed by the financial and economic crises,

the question of “The Future of Our Economic Model”. The eco-nomic model of the Western world seems neither stable nor future-proof. Can capitalism (or any form of it) still show us the way forward, and is unlimited growth possible? Is the current model consistent with the values of our society? What could an adapted model look like, and which conditions would be nec-essary to foster change? What are the implications for leader-ship and political responsibility, and what will be the most im-portant trends in society? Alp-bach in Motion will take place between August 25 and 27, 2013 under the chairmanship of Man-fred Reichl, long-term managing partner of Roland Berger A/CEE

and one of Austria’s leading investors. Inspiring mentors will share their ideas, encourage the group to think ‘out of the box’ and to approach the central is-sue, the future of our economic model, from different angles.

After the summit, its participants will contribute actively to the plenary discussions of the Eco-nomic Symposium and present the ideas developed jointly in one of the breakout sessions on August 28: Rethinking Capital-ism: The Future of our Economic Model.

Future Innovation: Conditions – Experiences – ValuesTechnological innovations are the motor of our digital socie-ties. New concepts and ideas like “open innovation” will be necessary to provide a sustainable link between value added and the benefit for societies. The Alpbach Technology Forum is the largest platform for a research- and technology-related debate in Austria. Due to its international focus it has become an indicator for new trends, setting benchmarks for technological developments. “Junior Alpbach” and the “OE1 Children’s University“ show new ways of natural science-education for future generations.

Decision Making in the EUWe are constantly talking about Europe and the European Union – but do we really know what it is and how it works? Do we have the basic knowledge needed in order to under-stand the complex decision making processes in the EU?This year, two events will deal with the institutional struc-ture of the EU and tackle the question of what decision making processes in the EU look like. Who has a say? Who is assigned to perform which task? How can the institutions reach a solution together?

Global Challenges: The Future of the International OrderRecent developments remind us how highly the world is interconnected today. Human security, adaption to and mitigation of climate change, or food security are just some of many issues calling for united global action. The focus of economic and political power tends to shift towards the East, while others still see the United States as the leading global player in the future. Europe’s role, however, seems to decline. Based on the experiences of the past years, we want to reflect on whether value-based sustainable solutions are possible on the global level. Which values demand for reconsideration and possible calibration to adapt them to the requirements of the 21st century?

Re:think Europe – Hosting Innovative Dialogue

throughout the Year

The association European Forum Alpbach, which is based in Vienna, is not only responsible for designing the programme of the annual Forum in Tyrol, but serves as a platform for dialogue across all sectors of society throughout the year. In a number of innovative conferences and events we try to get people ac-tively involved and aim to con-tribute towards establishing a united, democratic and sustaina-ble Europe.

Our Re:think project is one ex-ample of the work we do in addi-tion to organising the Forum in the summer. Under this label we

initiated Austria’s first ever polit-ical innovation lab, which took place between June 13 and June 15, 2013. The event was organised in collaboration with the consultancies Freims and Kovar & Partners in Linz. Re:think Austria convened young Austrian political leaders with very different political back-grounds to engage in an open dialogue with representatives from civil society, the arts and the business community.

The fifty hand-picked partici-pants were provided with a unique space to scout for new ideas and perspectives for

structural change in Austria’s political system. The 1.5-day event focused on issues relating to political accountability, and its format allowed for a real dia-logue among stakeholders who usually stand on opposite sides in the public debate. Participants succeeded in discovering com-mon ground and were able to develop innovative solutions, some of which will be presented to the public by the European Forum Alpbach in the coming months.

Experiencing Law – The Public as a Value?Legal systems act as stabilising factors in our pluralistic societies and enable us to establish binding agreements. Only in a critical discourse about our legal systems can we develop new approaches for further improvements. Under the title “Experiencing Law – the Public as a Value?” we will tackle the following questions: Does the law reach the citizens? To what extent does a public arena for European legislation exist? Which problems and solutions are there in the field of internet governance? How much transparen-cy is possible when defining and applying norms? And which are the goals of media and public relations in the legal sphere?

The Real Economy and Finance: A Conflicted Relationship?The relationship between the real economy and finance has noticeably changed in the last decades. Finance seems to have become an end in itself, reducing its ties to the real economy to a minimum. At the same time, the two areas are still strongly linked to one another. What could an ideal re-lationship between the real economy and finance look like? How can Europe find its way back to sustainable growth? Next to the plenary sessions 20 interactive breakout sessions will deal with these issues in depth.

“The future is digital”, “Genera-tion Facebook” or “Revolution 2.0”: Today’s discourse about the impact of the internet on society does not lack platitudes and pathos. But what is really behind these off-the-shelf phrases? We cannot ignore the fact that the internet has been shaping our lives over the last two decades to a similar extent as industriali-sation changed the society of the 19th century. Today, all spheres of society, from politics, culture and science to the econo-my, are facing great challenges and are undergoing fundamen-tal changes – also due to network technologies. Because traditional practices and products become increasingly digitised and the speed and scope of communica-tion are being transformed in fundamental ways, we all feel that there is some truth behind the phrases of politicians and technology evangelists mentioned above.

The European Forum Alpbach has always been a laboratory where the facts behind common

thought patterns are investigated. It has been a gathering where the perspectives supporting and opposing common views are discussed. This year we will do this focusing on the heterogene-ous sphere of the “digital”. If a topic like the “digital” is already this dominant in so many aspects of our lives, why emphasise it even more by promoting it to a cross-cutting issue?

The reason is that the internet-driven reorganisation of our society has just started. If we want to shape the so-called digi-tal society, we will have to discuss its effects and its future now. It is of utter importance that not only committed young people but also today’s decision-makers from all sectors of socie-ty orient their strategies towards the digital domain and critically question new developments.

For these reasons, this year’s programme in Alpbach features a number of events that focus on this topic. Two one-week semi-nars in the beginning – one on

opening up government data-bases to citizens and businesses, the other on power in cyber-space – and talks, breakout sessions and panel discussions at the Alpbach Symposia form the first thematic part of addressing this cross-cutting issue.

The second part concerns the introduction of digital methods to Alpbach: At a so-called BarCamp, a Web-supported ad-hoc conference, everyone is invited to present and discuss their ideas and research agendas. The Alpbach Media Academy will report via different digital channels and live contributions in social media will be included in the events where possible.

The insights gained on the topic ‘Digital Worlds’ in the different sessions will be compiled and made available online at the end of the Forum.

Finance at the CrossroadsEver since the beginning of the financial, economic and debt crisis in 2008, the financial industry has been going through radical changes. Emergency nationalisations and government loans led states to inquire about the future role of financial actors and their regulation. At the same time, the consequences of the crisis place a heavy burden on the financial industry. Europe, however, will always need strong partners in order to finance the real economy of the future. Together with the Alpbach audience, the Financial Market Symposium will examine the current changes in the financial industry from different perspectives.

Who Will Finance Growth: Banks or Capital Markets? Growth needs financing by banks, stock and bond markets. Are capi-tal requirements and regulatory constraints appropriate to restrict systemic risks? Will this lead to an increase of credit costs? How can financing by capital markets be fa-cilitated?

Banking Union: An Interim Report The Banking Union aims at cen-tralising banking supervision and control. How should the recapitali-sation of profitable banks and the resolution of insolvent banks be fi-nanced? How should current pro-blems be dealt with? Is a common deposit insurance scheme needed? How can redistribution be avoi-ded?

Financial Markets Between Na-tionalisation and Europeanisation National regulation may not be adequate to deal with suprana-tional consequences. The crisis has limited the expansion of banks to other countries. Will the banking union and access to ESM funds revive the integration of capital markets? Will the free movement of services be impaired?

30.08.2013 14:00-15:30

Financial Markets and the Real Economy – Friends or Foes? Following on the global economic and financial crisis, the role of fi-nancial markets has been questi-oned increasingly. Does speculati-on create liquid markets? Should those transactions that are benefi-cial to the real economy be

separated from those that are speculative bargains? How can the transparency of markets be enhanced?

Growing and Shrinking Cities –Experiences and ChallengesCities are the centres of modern people’s lives. The pheno-menon of shrinking cities and the question of how to deal with the space, the infrastructure and the people there are becoming more relevant. Based on European and US ex-amples, we will discuss the two phenomena of growing and shrinking cities: What are their risks and opportunities? Which framework is necessary for the development of a city and its surroundings? Who is entitled to use the (regained) public space, how do we deal with historical cities and which instruments do politics require in order to meet the needs of growing and shrinking cities?

Every morning from August 13 to 31, the Alpbach rectory organises a spiritual morning reflection, to which all participants of the European Forum Alpbach and everyone interested are kindly invited. The medi-tations are intended as a spiritual impulse for the day and should offer the possibility of a joint reflection on fundamental values of the Judeo-Christian tradition of the West. Contributions from Judaism, Islam and Buddhism are included in the programme. Admission is free. The mor-ning meditations are all held in the auditorium of the Community Centre Alpbach, on the upper floor of the fire station at the village entrance. On Sunday, August 18, the Meditation will be replaced by a Holy Mass; on August 25, by an Ecumenical service, both held in the Alpbach Church. The Interreligious Meditation is coordinated by Franz Bachmaier and Friso D. Heyt.

New Ideas for a Fair GlobalizationGlobalization has drastically changed our world in the past few decades, leading to a degree of interconnected-ness we have not seen before. In an unprecedented effort to tackle the challenges posed by global inequalities in eight areas, the Millenium Development Goals set an agenda to help the world’s poorest by 2015. Despite all efforts to promote global equity, however, inequalities persist. It is therefore time to reflect about a post-2015 development agenda addressing current challenges ran-ging from climate change and sustainable energy to the question of hunger as well as education and youth. The European Forum Alpbach offers a forum of discussion for distinguished key actors from governments, the private sector, civil society and international organisations in its Closing Event 2013. Reflecting about the post-2015 agenda, we will ask what the global community can do to achieve a fair globalization.

The European Forum Alpbach was founded by students and young scholars. Today, Alpbach is still inconceivable without its student participants. They embody the critical spirit and open-mindedness that are so unique to the conference. Most of all, though, the young partici-pants represent the next genera-tion that is already actively shap-ing the Europe of tomorrow.

A special scholarship pro-gramme by the European Forum Alpbach Foundation enables stu-dents from all over the world to come to Alpbach. Thanks go to the individuals, companies and organisations who have commit-

ted to supporting the programme this year. To date, former schol-arship holders have founded alumni groups, which run their own successful scholarship pro-grammes, in more than 25 coun-tries. All in all, more than 700 scholarship holders from more than 40 countries come to Alp-bach every year.

Our alumni groups form an active network, the so-called EFA Associates Network, which aims to foster mutual under-standing and further European Integration. The alumni groups organise events and activities in their home countries, exercising an important impact there. Their

elected speakers are also repre-sented in the governing and advisory boards of the European Forum Alpbach.

During the European Forum Alpbach in the summer, the Ini-tiative Groups and Clubs form the so-called Standing Commit-tee. The Standing Committee serves as the central point of contact and coordination for the participating scholarship holders at the Forum and organises a uniquely diverse programme of side events for all participants, including an International Even-ing, the traditional Speakers’ Night, clubbings and art exhibitions.

Principal Partners

Every year high-profi le experts, decision-makers and pioneers from the fi elds of science, business, politics and culture come together in the Tyrolean mountain village of Alpbach. It is a great pleasure for us to be able to contribute to the success of this renowned event as one of the EFA’s principal partners.

It is our mission to make our planet and our society more intelligent by enabling them to use smart technologies. This requires access to the global knowledge network. The European Forum Alpbach has been granting access to this knowledge network since 1945, and can thus be rightly referred to as a think tank of international importance.

Supporting science and research is part of the sociopolitical responsi-bility of the Austrian Lotteries. As one of the EFA’s principal partners we have made it possible that there will be a live stream to follow the plenary sessions on the EFA’s homepage. We are pleased that we were able to make a contribution to the future-oriented development of this event.

For almost seventy years, the European Forum Alpbach has been serving as a platform for discussions, education and networking in Austria and beyond. We are proud to host such a renowned event which has become an integral part of each year’s summer.
