API - Salzburg Global Seminar Collaboration
The Salzburg Global Seminar was begun in 1947 by three graduate students at Harvard University as a means of bringing together young Europeans and Americans from countries recently at war to engage in intellectual dialogue.
In the 60 years since its establishment, the Salzburg Global Seminar has evolved and expanded both the breadth of
countries from which its participants (Fellows) come as well as the issues that serve as the focus of its programs.
To date, more than 25,000 individuals from from more than 150 countries have attended Seminar sessions.
In an effort to flow with the tide of globalization, the Salzburg Global Seminar decided to reach out beyond Europe and
the U.S., to Asia, the Middle East and Africa. A few years ago, they identified API Community as a fine pool of intellectuals
in Asia and started to plan a new partnership. After a series of discussions, a new scheme has been developed in which selected
API Fellows can participate at the Salzburg Global Seminar starting from the year 2008.
