Past Program

Open exchange of ideas and strong global cross-cultural relationships create fertile ground for innovation. In the last five decades, the Republic of Korea has undergone rapid transformation, in large part thanks to its curiosity for and receptivity to the ideas of others. How can Korean leaders maintain this spirit of openness and build strong relationships with the rest of the world? 

The Salzburg Global Seminar – Korea Foundation Fellowship program builds on a long partnership between the Korea Foundation and Salzburg Global Seminar. The foundation of this partnership has always been to support current and future Korean leaders to gain cross-cultural experience, grow international networks, and bring a Korean perspective to global conversations.

In this online peer-networking meeting, Fellows will hear from Salzburg Global Seminar and the Korea Foundation on the value of international exchange. They will then have the opportunity to have small group discusions on three current topics of importance in Korea and the rest of the world: 

1. Korean Cultural Diplomacy

2. Women and Careers in Korea 
   Lead by Sodam Baek, Assistant Manager, Multilateral Cooperation and Humanitarian Assistance Department, KOICA and Emilia Heo, Associate Professor, Ritsumeikan, Asia Pacific University, Japan
3. Access to Nature and Nature Conservation in Korea 
   Lead by Hyeseon Do, Programme Officer, EAAFP and JinSu Park, Analyst, Next Group
