How Can We Promote a Future of Healthy Living and Well-Being for All?

Gathering of People Inside the Schloss Leopoldskron

Our Programs

Our programs equip leaders with the strategies and connections to effectively integrate health, equity and well-being into all policies.


Our Focus and Aims

Our programs are a leading forum for exchanging strategies tackling the toughest challenges to health, equity, and well-being now and in the future. ​

Health equity and community health; systems leadership, harnessing AI, digitalization, and innovation; gender equity and care economy; and health and the environment are among the pressing global transformation areas we seek to facilitate progress in. 

We seek to equip committed advocates with supportive networks, promising practices, strategies from around the world, and seed cross-boundary collaborations to accelerate progress.

We work with leading partners to co-develop programs that meet a range of health agendas and intended outcomes.

Our Methodology

Our methodology is dynamic and core to all programs. There are three core design principles.

We hold focus-group-like discussions throughout the creative process with program partners. From concept creation through the convening sessions.  ​

This helps leverage our collective strengths to achieve the session goals. It also enables us to develop a program tailored to the needs of partners and Salzburg Global Fellows.

Salzburg Global programs often involve Salzburg Global Fellows in the final development of the program agenda, seeking their feedback, interest, and involvement. ​

Sessions are highly interactive and often co-led by Fellows, whether they are online or at Schloss Leopoldskron in Salzburg. ​

This helps foster bonds with the Fellows and ensures that our sessions leverage their strengths and meet their needs.

​Our session design facilitates the exchange of key forms of knowledge beyond information, including experiences, ideas, and foresight. 

We run sessions that elicit sense-making and innovative thinking – while also offering exercises to help cross-boundary groups to safely experiment with new collaborations. ​

​Offering a safe and respectful environment and fostering a “speak up” culture to support individual agency are also critical goals of our session design.
