“The Alpbach Forum is a place for thinking, debating, and hiking together.
We politicians, together with scientists, NGOs, businesses are finding ways in which we can all reach the summit... 🧵

The problem isn't participation. It's visibility.

The @EU_CoR with @UniWarszawski are launching new research to better understand the barriers young women face in local and regional politics and close critical data gaps.

Let's make young women visible. Let's close the gap.
