Details

Every year since 1945, the “European Forum Alpbach” has been held in the Tyrolean mountain village of Alpbach. Speakers and participants from all parts of the world, from science, economics, and politics come together in Alpbach to discuss current issues and to formulate interdisciplinary solutions. The open character of the events promotes a climate of tolerance for different opinions and contributes to overcoming national, ideological and disciplinary boundaries in a peaceful manner. With the Alpbach scholarship programme, young people under 30 can attend this leading interdisciplinary conference and a variety of academic seminars.

The Scholarship programme

The scholarship covers:

  • the participation fee (EUR 1.400);
  • accommodation;
  • daily allowances for food (EUR 17 per day).

Required documents

The application process is going through an online application platform. A complete application requires the following:

  • motivational statement (up to 4,500 characters);
  • curriculum vitae (CV);
  • copies of your highest school or university certificate, diploma or degree;
  • a transcript covering all credits obtained during the last (academic) year. If your transcripts and certificates are in a language other than German or English, you need to submit a translation;
  • evidence of your English proficiency (only accepted in German or English). For the Seminar Week and the Symposia of the European Forum Alpbach, a minimum European level B2 is required. There are several ways to prove your English proficiency:
    • proof that you studied or are studying in an English-speaking country;

The European Forum Alpbach scholarship application platform will be open between February 20 and March 29, 2019 (11:59 noon CET).
