Club Alpbach Belgium Brussels (CABB) is the Belgian chapter of the European Forum Alpbach, an international forum of ideas started in 1947. The Forum is a space and place for the emergence of reflection and action, brining together young people with the most innovative minds from numerous disciplines to drive ideas for a strong and democratic Europe. 

CABB aims to bring this interdisciplinary, informal, and intergenerational spirit to Brussels by organising fireside chats and other events with influential individuals in the EU and Belgium. We also  grant scholarships to young people enabling them to attend the European Forum Alpbach.

Club Alpbach Belgium Brussels asbl’s mission is to bring the Alpbach spirit to Brussels. 

• Every year: we host a number of socials for informal exchange (“fireside chats”) with leading personalities.

• Every spring: we award scholarships to committed students to attend the European Forum Alpbach in August.

• Every summer: we play an active role at the Forum itself by hosting informal discussion events with keynote speakers.

In the past, we have had the privilege of receiving, among others, several European Commissioners (Johannes Hahn, Violeta Bulc, Kristalina Georgieva), a Vice-President of the European Parliament (Ulrike Lunacek) and the former director of the World Trade Organisation (Pascal Lamy).
