Eleven Questions for the Future of the Austrian Health Care System

-
Hotel Alphof
Breakout /

This year’s breakout sessions will employ a completely new method in order to foster exchange between participants and speakers. Based on eleven concrete questions, participants will use their shared knowledge to draft future scenarios for the development of the Austrian healthcare system up to 2025.

A member of the advisory board of the Alpbach Health Symposium will be in charge of each question. Additionally, moderators from the Forum Alpbach Network will support the individual working groups assigned to each question.
