(Mar 8-10) Austrian National Bank in Vienna: The recent financial crisis not only exposed many deficiencies in the financial sectors around the world, but threatened the very foundations of the global economy. Authorities in the US, Europe and Asia pledged to undertake a serious overhaul of their financial regulation systems and to cooperate better on the international level to ensure more effective supervision of cross-border operations and internationally active financial institutions. This session will inspect the implications of these reforms and analyze and compare the decisions that have been made, assessing from different perspectives how far old problems have been solved and/or potential new ones created.

(Apr 2-6) Daniel Barenboim's West-Eastern Divan Orchestra, Gilbert Levine's Papal Concert to Commemorate the Shoah, and José Antonio Abreu's El Sistema music education project in Venezuela, are just some of the better-known examples of "music with a mission." Much can be learned from these and comparable efforts. It is the goal of this Salzburg session to bring together musicians, social change-makers, representatives of the philanthropic community, cultural policymakers, and scholars interested in the manifestations of music in all cultures to explore the transformative power of music and shed new light on ways to benefit from music's instrumental value.

Following on the success of the Seminar's first study tour to China in 2010, the Salzburg Global Fellowship is looking to organize a twelve-day tour of South Africa from November 26-December 7, 2011 entitled, Economics, Equity, and the Environment: Developing South Africa's Sustainable Future. At the moment we're still working on the details of the price and program, but we'd like to poll your interest before continuing with further planning. This study tour will be planned to include site visits and lectures from local experts to explore the multiple intersections of economic development, social equity, and environmental sustainability in this unique country. It will be a great opportunity for travelling Fellows to learn more about South Africa and for local Fellows to debate their country's role in the world with Fellows from around the globe.
