The Salzburg Academy on Media & Global Change:
eMONITOR is a program of the Salzburg Academy. The Salzburg Academy program, itself an initiative of the Salzburg Global Seminar and the International Center for Media and the Public Agenda, brings together for three weeks every summer top undergraduate and graduate students from around the world. Faculty and deans from more than a dozen different universities across the globe participate in the Academy, giving lectures and acting as mentors to small teams of students.
The students and faculty study and live at the Salzburg Global Seminar’s home, the world-renowned Schloss Leopoldskron, celebrated as an historic center of scholarship—as well as the movie “home” of the Von Trapp family in “The Sound of Music.”
Following each summer’s session, the Academy’s university and other partners collaborate in a range of shared projects focused on media’s roles and responsibilities in the public consideration of global issues. Global Media Literacy and Freedom of Expression are at the core of the Academy’s agenda.
The Salzburg Global Seminar is an independent, non-governmental organization that for 60 years has convened imaginative thinkers from different cultures and institutions to solve issues of global concern. The International Center for Media and the Public Agenda (ICMPA) is an academic institute for media and public policy teaching and research based at the University of Maryland’s Philip Merrill College of Journalism and affiliated with the University’s School of Public Policy.
