We foster lasting networks and partnerships for creative, just and sustainable change.
Interns are selected from across the world in a highly competitive process.

Salzburg Global Seminar offers a number of three-month internship programs (non-accredited), which allow interns to not only enhance their skills and knowledge, but also access its impressive network of Salzburg Global Fellows.
