Salzburg Seminar Seeks Irish Fellows

The Salzburg Seminar in American Studies, which in its 1984 programme has two sessions of interest to lawyers, is seeking to attract more Irish Fellows. The number oflrish participants in the earlier years of the Seminar's operation was quite significant, but has dwindled to two in the 1983 Seminars. The Salzburg Seminar is a private, independent, non- profit education organisation, which was established in 1947 by students at Harvard University; it was sponsored initially by the Harvard Student Council. It now has its own Board of Directors, with both a European Advisory Council, composed mostly of alumni of the Seminar, as well as a Business Advisory Council. All of its sessions are held at Schloss Leopoldskron, Salzburg. The purpose of the Salzburg Seminar is the study, at the highest level, of contemporary issues of worldwide scope, as well as of significant aspects of American society. It provides a unique forum for the frank exchange of ideas and informed opinion. It offers to non-Americans practical, as well as theoretical insights into developments in the United States at the same time as it familiarises American participants with the ideas and attitudes of those from other countries. In 1984, the Seminar offers ten sessions, lasting nine days, each on a different subject and each with a different faculty and group of Fellows. The Fellows the Seminar brings together are people of prominence or promise in their fields. They come primarily from western Europe, eastern Europe, North America and from developing countries, with special emphasis on the Middle East. Usually, forty to fifty men and women are selected for each session. They are chosen to reflect a diversity of professional viewpoints and experiences. Most Fellows are in their 30s, though some are younger, some older. They work with a distinguished international faculty, all of whom serve without monetary compensation. The sessions usually include a series of lectures, presented by each of the faculty members and attended by all Fellows. These lectures are followed by questions and discussion. In addition, each Fellow participates in a more specialized small group seminar, in which about a dozen Fellows meet at least twice a week with an individual faculty member for intensive work on a particular aspect of the topic. All Fellows are expected to make oral or written contributions to these seminar groups. Since all Fellows and faculty members work, live, and dine together at Schloss Leopoldskron, the opportunity for continuous intormal exchange of ideas
