Salzburg Global Seminars are five-day sessions focused on critical challenges confronting the global community and designed to formulate innovative solutions to global problems. Beginning with Session 1 in 1947, the Salzburg Global Seminar has convened people committed to making a difference in the world in candid and informed discussion to inspire innovative thinking and to pioneer practical strategies for change.

In 2012, the Salzburg Global Seminar will conduct Sessions addressing a compelling range of political, social, cultural, and economic issues that affect the future of the world. The Seminar welcomes applications to these sessions which will bring together approximately sixty distinguished international faculty members and emerging leaders, known as "Fellows," from government, business, academia, and non-governmental organizations. Seminars are cross-sectoral and cross-cultural in approach with the objective of broadening and deepening perspectives to promote informed action and far-sighted decision-making among key professionals worldwide. Particular emphasis is placed on generating cutting-edge ideas and on developing proposals for action.

Salzburg Global Seminars are structured around morning lectures and discussions by leading experts on the session topic. Afternoon working groups are facilitated by faculty members who lead the group in developing strategies for change, policy proposals or projects for cooperative action. Follow-on activities mediated by staff, faculty, and Fellows extend the work and value of the session.
