Lucia Bezáková: Report on the European Forum Alpbach 2010



I have just started to work as a Project Coordinator in a non-profit organization in Brussels. As the last thing to do before taking up job commitments I decided to participate in the European Forum Alpbach. It was an extremely interesting, enriching and clever thing to do.

I followed the Alpbach Summer School on European Integration with the focus on EU Law and additionally followed seminars that were taking place in parallel.

The experienced Prof. Dr. Friedl Weiss provided us with his first-hand experience and high-level knowledge on the EU Legal Order. I found his presentations on doctrines of the EU law as well as procedures in the European institutions such as enforcement the most interesting. The valuable input was provided also by some participants in form of presentations. In addition to EU law topics, some presentations given concerned European Neighborhood Policy and included countries of Central Asia, South-East Europe and Turkey. As the group was very international, participants interacted with each other during the official program and in their free time too. Therefore I was able to gain a valuable insight into the EU policies in their home countries or regions and grasped several cultural elements too.

In addition to the European Law Summer School I attended several seminars. I especially appreciated the Lobbying and Networking in the European Union seminars. The organizers invited high-level speakers who provided us with their relevant long years experience. Those seminars represented a great added value for my current job position and will definitely help me succeed in fulfilling my job tasks. Since the speakers came from various institutions and fields, their input was not only interesting but more importantly helpful. The added value of this seminar was achieved by the balanced choice of speakers across various sectors such as state institutions, European institutions, consultancies, think-tanks, lobbying firms and international organizations. I am personally very grateful to Madeleine Mahovsky, Adviser and Member of Cabinet to Commissioner for Regional Policy Johannes Hahn for her great presentation. Mrs Mahovsky drew examples from her every day work and pointed out the most relevant do´s and don’t´s for those who try to impact legislation drafts in the European Commission. This was an excellent opportunity to gain an insight into lobbying and networking, more specifically into both its functioning and importance for the EU functioning. Another speaker was Hanns R. Glatz, CNC – Communications & Network Consulting AG in Brussels who presented brilliant tips on how to network and lobby in the Brussels environment. His presentation was highly appreciated by all participants.



Besides the summer school and seminars, the political talks gained much attention. I was very much pleased having had the opportunity to listen to high-level speakers such as national ministers, EU representatives or representatives of international organizations. That is probably the privilege of the European Forum Alpbach to be able to attract those great personalities and that is what makes the Forum truly special and unique.

In addition to the intellectual activities, a very nice element of the European Forum Alpbach was Green Meeting Alpbach and several “green” events that took place during two weeks. I found it especially useful to have a ride on an E-bike. This way the European Forum Alpbach brings the environmental issues closer to quite a few people in a very nice way.

All in all, I was impressed by high quality of seminars, presentations and events, experienced and high-level speakers and range of topics addressed. The European Forum Alpbach is an excellent networking opportunity and a platform for views exchange. Therefore I will be more than happy to participate in the Forum in following years too.

To conclude, the European Forum Alpbach was a very enriching event which provided me with a lot of new ideas, insights and contacts.
