2015 Program Brochure - Salzburg Global Seminar
2015 PROGRAM Salzburg Global Seminar | Program 2015 Foreword People and Power 2015 is packed with symbolic anniversaries and landmark events. Towering above them is the 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta, the cornerstone of efforts across the centuries and around the world to enshrine the rule of law and protection of individual rights at the heart of human society. These fundamental principles of freedom and justice underpin the mission of Salzburg Global Seminar, which has worked for nearly seventy years to challenge present and future leaders to solve issues of global concern. They will resonate worldwide with the seventieth anniversary of the United Nations, and for our regional partners as Indonesia celebrates seventy years of independence, Singapore marks fifty years since its creation, and thirty-five states commemorate signing the Helsinki Final Act of the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe. Yet on a darker note, man’s persistent inhumanity to man will also be remembered upon the centenary of the Armenian genocide, the seventieth anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, the fortieth of the Cambodian genocide, and the twentieth since the Srebrenica massacres. Salzburg Global was founded by young optimists amidst post-war chaos and destruction. Looking forward, we believe that lessons from the past can and must inspire courage, commitment and vision for a better future. 2015 will be a test year for the international community, regional organizations and nation states if negotiations are to succeed for new Sustainable Development Goals and a binding agreement on climate change. Many Fellows in our Salzburg Global Network spanning 160 countries, and many of our partner institutions across the world, are playing pivotal roles to this end. Across sectors and scales, we are witnessing radical shake-ups in the relationships between individuals, systems and states. Salzburg Global’s programs on education and social investment, neuroscience, global finance, health and big data, amongst other topics, are designed to help key institutions and individuals understand these shifts, see the art of the possible and accelerate change.
