28 \u2013 30 September 2025<\/strong> The SALZBURG EUROPE SUMMIT will take place from 28 to 30 September 2025, which is organised for the 21st time by the Institute of the Regions of Europe (founded by the Chairman of our Knights of Honour, former Governor Prof. Dr. Franz Schausberger). In various formats \u2013 from discussion events and workshops to an excursion \u2013 this internationally renowned congress will explore the topic of \u2018Europe and Hope\u2019.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Under the honorary patronage of Austrian Federal President Alexander van der Bellen, the following are expected: Kaja Kallas, High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Christian Stocker, Federal Chancellor of the Republic of Austria, Magnus Brunner, EU Commissioner for Home Affairs and Migration, Adam Sz\u0142apka, EU Minister of Poland, Emil Hurezeanu, Foreign Minister of Romania, Cristina Gherasimov, Deputy Prime Minister of Moldova, Igli Hasani, Foreign Minister of Albania and many more.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n As a new partner of this important conference, the Order of St. George will contribute its own colloquium to the programme for the first time: Led by the well-known moderator and journalist Claudia Reiterer, amongst others Grand Master Archduke Karl and our Knight of Honour Prof. Dr. Jan Peter Balkenende, former Prime Minister of the Netherlands and appointed Minister of State by His Majesty King Willem-Alexander in 2022, will analyse the topic \u2018Integrity, Direction, Hope. Why the European Union must rediscover its values \u2013 and how can this be achieved?\u2019<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n An event that is equally interesting for all our Commanderies not only because of its European and Central European accents (comprehensive interpreting services are offered), but also because it offers the opportunity to establish valuable contacts and develop new networks. Up-to-date information and the detailed programme can be found on the website www.salzburg-europe-summit.eu<\/a> zu finden<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Registration to kanzleramt@georgsorden.eu<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n 18 October 2025<\/strong> Following the festive mass, new Dames and Knights are admitted to the Order by our Grand Master at a ceremonial investiture. In response to numerous requests, once again a supporting programme in the form of a \u2018Meet & Greet\u2019 on the evening before the Order Day will be offered. Therefore an attractive offer has been worked out with the four Viennese Commanderies and each of the four Commanderies will organise an individuell evening in small groups of 30 \u2013 40 people.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Friday, 17 October 2025<\/strong> All four events can be booked via the ticket system at a standard ticket price of EUR 40.
