On Monday, 11, and Tuesday, 12 March 2024, the Fundamental Rights Forum 2024, organized by the EU Fundamental Rights Agency (FRA), will take place as a hybrid event at the Vienna City Hall and in other cities. In 2024, the Forum will focus on the following three topics: climate change, technological progress and threats to democracy and civic space.

The forum will bring together political decision-makers, visionaries, human rights defenders, business leaders, artists and other influential personalities with the aim of using human rights for a better future for Europe.
