The Bucerius Summer School on Global Governance is a two-week seminar. Its overall aim is to foster leadership qualities in young professionals by opening a cross-border dialogue on current political, economic, social and juridicial questions. Participants will be inspired by – and will learn from – high-profile speakers who are eminent public figures in politics, business, academia and the NGO sphere.
The Bucerius Summer School on Global Governance harks back to Henry Kissinger's renowned International Summer Seminar at Harvard University. In the 1960s, Kissinger brought together young leaders from all over the world for a summer course of debates and lectures. Many of the seminar’s alumni and alumnae rose to important national or international positions.
The next Bucerius Summer Scholl on Global Governance will take place from August 13 to August 27, 2006 in Hamburg, Berlin and Paderborn.
Participants of the Bucerius Summer School on Global Governance will be particularly successful young managers, politicians, journalists, academics and NGO representatives between the age of 28 and 35 who have already acquired some professional experience and show particular promise in their respective fields of endeavor. Excellent knowledge of the English language is expected.
Applicants must be nominated by a contact person authorized by the ZEIT-Stiftung Ebelin und Gerd Bucerius. This is a highly selective program; if you have been nominated, it means that you can apply, but it does not mean that you will necessarily be accepted. In mid-March, a Selection Committee headed by Dr. Theo Sommer, Editor-at-Large, DIE ZEIT, and Dean of the Bucerius Summer School will invite about approximately 55 applicants for next year’s Bucerius Summer School.
Names and addresses of the ZEIT-Stiftung\'s contact persons will not be communicated to potential applicants since this would counteract the nomination process. However, contact persons are: Professors (Law, Political Science, Humanities), CEOs of transnational companies, NGOs, Heads and Ministers of State as well as Members of Parliament virtually all over the world (more than 1,000 contact persons). Alumni of the Bucerius Summer School 2001 to 2005 may also nominate candidates.
