Christmas Party 2025

December 2020, 25 | Udine

This year members and friends of the CASC community gathered in Udine for our annual Christmas Party.

Over pasta and tiramisù, we took time to look back on an eventful year. 2025 brought many shared moments, new connections, and inspiring discussions across our community.

The evening was a chance to slow down, enjoy good food, and celebrate the people who make CASC what it is.

We are grateful for everyone who joined us to celebrate the people who make CASC what it is. It was the perfect way to close the year and head into the new one with fresh energy.

General Assembly 2025

October 18, 2025 | Gasser+Partner, Klagenfurt

This year’s General Assembly took place at the offices of our sponsor Gasser+Partner in Klagenfurt.

We started the day with an insightful meeting with Miha Kampuš, who introduced us to the company’s history, its diverse projects, and guided us through their offices and production facilities – a great example of innovation within the Alpe-Adria region.

In the afternoon, we reflected on EFA25, reviewed our past year, and planned ahead for the future of the club.
We also took the opportunity to thank our outgoing board members Jadran Vecchiet, Lucija Perne, and Margaretha Planegger for their invaluable contributions.

At the same time, we are thrilled to welcome our new board members Laura, Rafael, Anastasiia, Mihael, Karoline, Evelyn, Elizabeta, and Alexander to the team!

On October 19, we concluded the weekend with a guided tour through the exhibition “Hinschaun! Poglejmo.” at the Landesmuseum Kärnten in Klagenfurt – a fitting cultural end to an inspiring weekend.

Boiler Room 2024

June 28, 2024 | Zoo Club Klagenfurt | in collaboration with Kärnten Werbung

Our Boiler Room 2024 combined creativity, innovation, and loud music in a unique setting. In collaboration with Kärnten Werbung, members of the Club Alpbach Senza Confini brainstormed ideas on how to make the Alpe-Adria region more attractive to young tourists.

In this informal and energetic atmosphere, participants developed cross-border concepts and new tourism offers that aim to promote the region as a whole.

Update on our scholarships for EFA21

In 2021, things will remain different – both this year’s European Forum Alpbach and our scholarship program will need to adapt to the current circumstances. Therefore, we regret to announce that, due to the Covid-19 pandemic and the limited number of scholarship holders for EFA21, we are unable to accept new applications this year. Instead, we plan to send to EFA21 our scholarship holders from 2020, who could not attend the Forum on site.

We apologize for any inconvenience this decision may cause to you. We hope to receive many new applications next year, and to see you in our events throughout 2021!

Take care and stay safe,

The board of Club Alpbach Senza Confini

Path to a Sustainable Future: Nuclear Energy (Non) Essential?

Discussions around the role of nuclear energy for power production are becoming more relevant at the global and regional level, especially within Europe. “Clean Energy” is the 7th Sustainable Development Goal (SDG), and it envisions “energy decarbonization with universal access” to bring cleaner energy to more people. In this context, nuclear energy could play a key role to help countries in the EU and in the world to stay on track with their commitments under the Paris Agreement.

Countries are called to solve a pressing dilemma: on the one side, nuclear power plants using fission technology do not produce carbon emissions but, on the other side, they present health and security challenges. How shall EU countries proceed forward with nuclear energy? Leon Cizelj, Sigrid Stagl, and Roberto Adinolfi join us to discuss this matter.

Our guest was Roderick Hodgson, an experienced AI entrepreneur who founded Amber, a Startup that uses Blockchain technology to counter the threat to the truthfulness of moving imagery.
We discussed with him the current abilities and use cases of deep fakes and its destructive and constructive potential.
