You’re listening to the Bailey Morris-Eck Lectures series, compiled in 2019 for Salzburg Global Seminar Board Member and friend, Bailey Morris-Eck. Inaugurated in 2004, Bailey’s support has enabled 15 years of thought provoking conversation on the intersections between media, economics and trade among hundreds of fellows seeking to shape a better world. Thanks to an outpouring of support in honor of Bailey’s retirement from the Board of Directors in 2019 the lecture’s endowment was expanded to ensure its continuance and add on journalistic residencies designed to share the conversations occurring at Schloss Leopoldskron with a wider audience. We are most grateful to Bailey and other contributors who have so generously ensured that these conversations will continue for years to come.

Stacey Abrams on FM4

An independent, non-profit organization with a mission to overcome barriers and open up a world of better possibilities

Salzburg Global is where open-minded leaders from around the world gather for breakthrough conversations on pressing global issues.

Since 1947, we have worked with over 40,000 Fellows from 173 countries for more than 1,100 sessions that create spaces where divergent voices can change the conversation and address the big challenges of our time.

Our first session brought together over 100 young Europeans and Americans – including survivors of concentration camps, veterans of resistance movements, prisoners of war, and former enemies. They met at Schloss Leopoldskron, an Austrian palace that had been occupied by the Nazis, in a country that was still under Allied military control. They wrestled with how diverse and fractured groups of people could come together and start creating the conditions for peace in the aftermath of World War II.

Seventy-eight years later, the challenges may be different, but our mission still carries that same founding spirit: To overcome barriers and open up a world of better possibilities.
