Salzburg Global Seminar is a fully independent international organization established in 1947 to challenge present and future leaders to solve issues of global concern. Based in the heart of Europe, its programs, research, expert networks and partner institutions span every region of the world. Every year, Salzburg Global convenes over 1,000 emerging leaders from more than 160 countries at its magnificent campus at Schloss Leopoldskron in Salzburg, Austria.

The purpose of the Library is to provide fellows and faculty members with access to current materials on the topic of their particular session. The Library also provides a limited number of general books and magazines of use to and of interest for fellows. The composition of the collection reflects the topics of Salzburg Global Seminar sessions. The Library is an open-stack, non-lending library but may be open to non-participants upon request. The people who make up our faculty, fellows, and staff drive the creative thinking and problem-solving central to Salzburg Global Seminar’s mission. This includes our interns. Salzburg Global Seminar offers three-month non-accredited internships to help program staff prepare for international meetings and, when possible, work on longer-term projects.
