2022 Fully Funded St Gallen Symposium Global Leadership Challenge
The Fully Funded St Gallen Symposium Global Leadership Challenge (GLC) aims to help emerging leaders to grow in the wisdom and character required for responsible leadership that makes a difference in the world — leadership that doesn’t simply seek to fulfil personal ambition but furthers societies’ sustainable development. GLC is a joint initiative of the University of Oxford (Social Sciences Division and the Oxford Character Project) and the St. Gallen Symposium, supported by our Main Partners HCL Technologies, the Lemann Foundation and the Templeton World Charity Foundation, as well as the Knowledge Partners.
The Global Leadership Challenge 2024 will convene 100 young leaders selected through an open application process. Applicants will be evaluated on their commitment to responsible leadership and passion for engaging with complex global challenges. The St Gallen Symposium is looking for a diverse group of postgraduate students and young professionals who are ready to rise to the challenges of our time and develop themselves as the responsible leaders our world desperately needs now.
After successful participation, GLC Members can apply for further mentoring in “leadership development” (with the Oxford Character Project at the University of Oxford) to reflect on their own purpose and grow as a future leader.
