Happy Hours at European Forum Alpbach
We ask ourselves: what does the future look like? What do we want it to look like?We are taking part at this year's conference with a special program.
If you happen to be in Alpbach, we invite you to enjoy a "Happy Hour" on two evenings: heated thoughts and steep theses can be discussed and exchanged over cooled drinks. We ask ourselves: what does the future look like? What do we want it to look like?
This intervention is part of ARTTEC – The art program of AIT.

How Can We Go Forward into Something We're Not Sure of? (John Lennon)
Climate change, radical technologies, the pandemic, and the war in Ukraine are causing crises in Europe. Work, economy, and politics: people's lives are in a state of upheaval. Now. Intensifying and speeding up. Turning back? Impossible. Close your eyes and hope for the best? Predetermined doom. Live, work, coexist in a changed environment - can we make it? How?
