Fundamental Rights Forum in Vienna

Fundamental Rights Forum, Vienna. FRA.

Under the motto "Rights, Respect, Reality: the Europe of Values in Today's World", #FRA, the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights, has announced the celebration of the Fundamental Rights Forum in Vienna on 20-23 June 2016.

According to #FRA the Forum 2016 comes at a critical moment when our human rights resolve is being tested. "Europe is being challenged to find urgent responses to the continuing refugee crisis, persistent discrimination and exclusion, as well as mass intrusion into the privacy and personal data of everyday people throughout Europe," FRA has stated.

Inclusion, refugee protection and the digital age are the three themes chosen by the Forum's organization to get insight into from the perspective of the Nobel Peace Prize-winning Europe of values in today’s world.

The Forum's structure consists of engaging talks, lively panel debates, audience voting and a market place of ideas to present new and innovative ideas on inclusion, refugee protection and the digital age.

More than 400 experts will gather in Vienna for three days to talk about the most pressing issues facing Europe at the moment. Policy makers, people representing business and creative thinkers will take part.
