Workshop in co-operation with Forschung Austria
at the Alpbacher Technologieforum 2023, Alpbach

Module “Europe in the World Days”
August 29th, 2023

This year’s Alpbach motto (“Bold Europe”) suggests that Europe must contribute to shaping the world with more courage. In this workshop we argue that a bold Europe needs bold people.

We ask ourselves questions like: How can we define “boldness” (or “courage”) or, how can we attract, develop and then retain these talented people?
