A new and exciting event is being added to the annual calendar: join Fulbright Austria alums Julia Pataky, Sibel Uranüs, and Hannes Aichmayr, in collaboration with the Austrian Fulbright Alumni association, for the first annual FOLD Symposium.
“FOLD” stands for Fulbrighters Of the Last Decades. The FOLD Symposium aims to provide a platform for the exchange of ideas, promote networking, and build stronger connections among current program participants and alums.
The overarching theme of the is “new horizons,” with keynote speeches giving impulses in four areas—public diplomacy, innovation in education, arts, and law—which will then be further discussed in breakout sessions. The opening remarks, keynote speeches, and breakout sessions will be followed by a reception at 19:00.
Check back on this page to stay up to date on the latest news about the FOLD Symposium. The symposium committee will start the registration process at the beginning of September 2022.
Alums Julia, Sibel, and Hannes, the Austrian Fulbright Alumni association, and Fulbright Austria look forward to seeing you at the symposium!
