F11 FORUM

Organised by International Forum Gastein
Late breaking topic
The British referendum on 23 June 2016 created waves that reverberated far beyond UK borders. All across the EU and beyond, Brexit is being discussed and its implications for different areas of policy – and life – explored. Scenarios for a post Brexit UK range from the bleak (an imploding political system and declining economy) to the optimistic (a more independent, globally engaged economy). We invite you to discuss what the referendum result tells us about societal challenges in Europe, what an exit from the EU means for Britain and the NHS specifically, and the broader implications of the Leave vote for the future of the EU in general.
