Salzburg Global Seminar Inc.

Salzburg Global Seminar is an independent nonprofit organization founded in 1947 with a mission to challenge current and future leaders to shape a better world. For over 75 years, the organization has been at the forefront of global movements for change, convening outstanding talent across generations, cultures, and sectors to inspire new thinking and action. Its multi-year programs are designed to bridge divides, expand collaboration, and transform systems, addressing critical issues confronting the global community. These programs cover a wide range of topics, including peace and justice, education, culture, health, finance, and governance. By bringing together diverse and imaginative thinkers, Salzburg Global Seminar organizes problem-focused initiatives, supports leadership development, and engages opinion-makers through active communication networks. This is all achieved in partnership with leading institutions from around the world and across different sectors of society.

The historic home of the Salzburg Global Seminar is Schloss Leopoldskron in Salzburg, Austria, a former palace that provides an inspiring and trusted environment for open dialogue and the search for innovative, practical solutions. The organization has a vast and influential network of over 40,000 Fellows from more than 170 countries, many of whom have risen to senior leadership positions. This global fellowship is a testament to the organization's lasting impact on individuals, institutions, and ideas. Salzburg Global Seminar is committed to fostering lasting networks and partnerships for creative, just, and sustainable change. It addresses the interlinking imperatives of our time, such as reducing social and economic inequality, advancing racial and gender equity, promoting good governance, and protecting the climate to ensure the sustainability of human societies. The organization is supported by a combination of institutional partnerships, individual donations, and revenue from its social enterprise, the Hotel Schloss Leopoldskron.
