Apply Now: Latin American Forum on Global Governance

The Latin American Forum on Global Governance 2014 is scheduled to take place from 6 to 16 August 2014 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Calls for nominations will go out in August, the nomination and application deadline is December 1, 2013.

The Latin American Forum on Global Governance is an intensive ten-day seminar jointly organized by the ZEIT-Stiftung Ebelin und Gerd Bucerius, and the Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV), with support from Daimler. The aim of the Latin American Forum is to foster leadership qualities among young professionals by opening a cross-border dialogue on current questions of global relevance. Participants will be inspired by – and learn from – high profile speakers who are eminent public figures in politics, business, academia and the NGO sphere.

The Latin American Forum on Global Governance (LAF) will take a close look at the Latin American region and at the challenges facing the global community. Though the emphasis is on Latin America, there will be a fair mix of young leaders from Europe, Americas, Africa, Asia and Australia. The participants will be drawn from diverse sectors and streams of study. Each of these participants will, at the outset, be nominated by senior figures – Heads of Governments, Ministries and Government Departments, the CEO’s of major National and Multinational Companies, Heads of Universities and of Non-Profit Organizations – and thereafter carefully selected by an eminent jury of experts.

The participants will be between 28 and 35 years of age. They would have acquired significant professional experience and would already exhibit promise at work.
