Bringing The European Forum Alpbach to the Netherlands

And the other way around!

Club Alpbach Netherlands (CAN) is the Dutch chapter of the The European Forum Alpbach. EFA is a place where, since its foundation in 1945, young people come together from all over the world to drive ideas for a stronger and more democratic Europe.

Club Alpbach Netherlands was founded in 2018 by enthousiastic former participants of EFA. Since then, our aim has been to promote the forum amongst people, organisations and companies living in or based in the Netherlands. We are also there for these groups abroad that feel affiliated with the Netherlands.

Our activities include organising mind-stimulating events, helping EFA in selecting scholarship holders with a Dutch connection and building and maintaining a network of young-professionals sharing a passion for EFA and the European project.

CAN is also active during the forum each summer in Alpbach, where we organise fire side chats and panel-discussions and take care of the mental wellbeing of our scholarship holders.
