What is the Cultural Futures Forum?
Salzburg Global brings people together from many countries to work on shared problems. This forum looks at the future of creative and cultural work, and who gets paid and valued for it.
Over six days in Salzburg you take part in sessions, discussions and workshops with other participants, artists and experts. It is a working forum, so you are there to contribute, not just to listen.
What you get
- Scholarship support that covers the program and participation costs
- Accommodation during the forum
- Meals during the forum
- International travel support in some cases
- Six days of sessions and connections with a global group
Read the funding line carefully. The program, accommodation and meals are covered, and travel is covered only in some cases. Check what your own award includes when you are offered a place.
Who can apply
- Applicants from around the world.
- People working in or connected to creative and cultural work, policy, or research.
- You are comfortable taking part in English.
Is there an age limit?
No age limit is stated. Salzburg Global brings together people at different stages of their work, so what matters is your interest and what you bring to the forum.
Do I need IELTS or TOEFL?
No English test is listed. The forum runs in English, so you need to take part in English, but you do not send a score.
How to apply, step by step
- Open the official application page (link at the end of this post).
- Read the forum theme so your answers speak to it.
- Fill in the application and say what you work on and what you would bring.
- Submit before the deadline. There is no fee.
How to make your application stand out
Be specific about your work and the question the forum asks, who gets valued for creative labor. One clear example from your own experience says more than general statements.
Selection process
Salzburg Global reviews applications and selects a group that brings different countries and viewpoints together. Scholarship support is offered with or after the place. If you are selected, you are told what your award covers.
Deadline
19 October 2026. The forum runs 14 to 19 March 2027 in Salzburg. The deadline is close, so write your application this week.
