Salzburg Global Seminar is one of the world's leading international educational centers. The mission of Salzburg Global Seminar is to challenge current and future leaders to solve issues of global concern. Presently, the program framework has three cross-cutting clusters and addresses the underlying questions that hold keys to human progress: imagination, sustainability and justice.

Salzburg Global Seminar is dedicated to promoting the exchange of ideas in a multi-disciplinary and cross-cultural environment. Each year, some 1,000 professionals from more than 100 countries get together at the Seminar's magnificent facility at Schloss Leopoldskron, in Salzburg, Austria to discuss political, social, and cultural issues.

The Fulbright Foundation in Greece, in partnership with SGS, will offer a limited number of travel grants and/or partial participation fees to early to mid-career level Greek candidates to participate at the Salzburg Global Seminar.

During the 2023-2024 academic year, Fulbright Greece may support up to two participants for any of the following programs:

CULTURE, ARTS AND SOCIETY

The Culture, Arts and Society series harnesses the transformative power of the arts to shape a better world. Through future-focused programs and projects, it raises the profile of culture and the arts in policy agendas, catalyzes exchange across disciplines and sectors, and sustains a unique creative community across continents.

"I was delighted to be given the chance by Fulbright Greece to participate in the Salzburg Global Seminar and share insights, ideas and strategies around: 'The Creative Power of Arts -Reimagining Human and Planetary Flourishing'. SGS is uniquely positioned as a platform to support creative, cross-sectoral and holistic approaches to systemic transformation by strategically engaging pivotal international stakeholders across all sectors. This program, held over three days, allowed for connections through research, policy, and practice to advance the systemic relevance of culture and the arts for creative and innovative reforms across sectors. All panellists and Global Salzburg fellows supported the idea that now more than ever is the momentum to encourage all world citizens to place arts and culture together with education at the heart of recovery and revival as a source of creativity, innovation and enjoyment. During the seminar, a group of approximately 60 participants from different parts of the world joined the discussion about how the arts and cultural sector can play a more active role in promoting social justice, designing and implementing inclusive practices and supporting processes of decolonization around the globe."

SALZBURG GLOBAL AMERICAN STUDIES PROGRAM

The Salzburg Global American Studies Program fosters understanding and debate on America’s changing role in the world. With a distinguished track record since 1947, its annual symposia for professional leaders and scholars address topical questions affecting American culture, society and politics, analyze their global implications, and advance applied research.

"The program helped me think about new initiatives or areas of work inspired by the proposals and discussions. Brainstorming in table discussions and group work with bright professionals - practitioners, scholars and activists - from diverse backgrounds was extremely beneficial and enlightening. It was stimulating to learn more about the field of American studies and how it fosters interdisciplinarity and pluralism, resulting in dynamic relationships between various groups of people. Personally, I saw is that increased collaborative and interpersonal knowledge exchange and open dialogues are crucial for enhancing our capacity to collaborate and exchange ideas for a better future. Connecting American Studies and democracy to politics, education, culture, migration and so much more, and culminating in meaningful and honest discussion and action, makes the SGS American Studies program a brilliant forum and a life-changing experience."
