30 Years of the Europa-Forum Wachau: An Anniversary for the Future of Europe
From May 18 to 22, 2026, the 30th Europa-Forum Wachau will take place in Lower Austria. This special anniversary marks an important milestone for one of Europe's most renowned dialogue platforms. The event brings together decision-makers from politics, business, and society to discuss the future of the continent.
Over three decades, the forum has established itself as a place where key European issues are discussed openly. This year, the exchange between different countries remains at the heart of the event. In view of current global challenges, the meeting offers a vital opportunity to find common solutions for Europe.
For Austria, the forum is of great importance as it strengthens the Wachau region as a center for political dialogue. Participants will debate topics such as security, economic cooperation, and the further development of the European Union. In this context, cooperation between the various European regions plays a central role.
The organizers emphasize that the anniversary is not just a look back at the past 30 years, but above all a look ahead. At a time when cohesion in Europe is more important than ever, the Europa-Forum Wachau provides an essential stage for constructive conversations. The results of the discussions are intended to contribute to further advancing European integration.
