The St. Gallen Symposium , formerly the International Management Discussion (1969–2000) or ISC Symposium (2000–2005), has been held annually since 1970 in May at the University of St. Gallen in St. Gallen , Switzerland . It is one of the world's leading initiatives for intergenerational debates on economic, political and social developments. The aim of the symposium is to address the opportunities and challenges of our time and to develop solutions.

The symposium was founded in 1969 in response to the 1968 movement and is organized by the International Students' Committee (ISC) , a student association at the University of St. Gallen.

history

Emergence

Five students from the University of St. Gallen - Clemens Ernst Brenninkmeyer (NL), Franz Karl Kriegler (AU), Urs Schneider (CH), Wolfgang Schürer (DE) and Terje I. Wölner-Hanssen (NO) - founded the International Students' Committee (ISC), which organizes the St. Gallen Symposium in teams that change every year. They founded the ISC in February 1970 as an alternative to the international student unrest of 1968 . A constructive and solution-oriented dialogue between decision-makers and the younger generation should be developed and promoted. The name International Students' Committee was chosen because all founders come from different countries of origin - namely Austria , Germany , the Netherlands , Norway and Switzerland . On June 30th and July 1st, 1970, the first international management discussion with 100 executives and an equal number of students took place at the University of St. Gallen.

First years

At the third symposium in 1972, the internationally renowned Club of Rome study Limits to Growth was presented, which emphasized the global scarcity of oil resources and helped the management talks to gain international appeal. The global economic slump due to the oil crisis and problems with ensuring the continuity of the student team meant that no symposium could take place in 1974. As a lesson from the crisis, the St. Gallen Foundation for International Studies, which aims to ensure continuity, was founded on the one hand. On the other hand, the sponsors' group, whose members have provided the ISC with ideal financial support for several years, was set up. In 1977 the St. Gallen Symposium hit the headlines with a panel discussion with the German employer president Hanns Martin Schleyer and DGB chairman Heinz Oskar Vetter .

The 1980s

A big change was the introduction of the St. Gallen Wings of Excellence Award (today Global Essay Competition ) in 1989, which is now one of the largest and most renowned student competitions in the world. The 200 student participants had to use this essay competition to qualify for the first time to take part in the St. Gallen Symposium. In addition to participating in the symposium, the best authors are also offered prize money and an opportunity to present their contribution ( see below ).

1995 to 2010

Since the mid-1990s, the ISC has been trying to make the symposium increasingly international and to further improve the quality of the dialogue. As part of this reorientation, a new logo was introduced and the name was changed from International Management Talk to ISC Symposium. The ISC also provided financial support for the construction of the further education center (WBZ) at the University of St. Gallen during this period.

The turn of the millennium was a major challenge for the symposium with the bursting of the dot-com bubble in 2000, the terrorist attacks of September 11th and the bankruptcy of Swissair - one of the most important sponsors at the time - in the following year.

In 2002 the ISC was commissioned by the Federal Council to organize the international federalism conference at the University of St. Gallen with the same structure as the ISC symposium. Eight heads of state and government, 16 ministers, 3 federal councilors and 20 government councilors took part in the conference.

The current name was introduced in 2005. In the following year, the former Secretary General of the United Nations , Kofi Annan , was presented with the Freedom Prize of the Max Schmidheiny Foundation , which he was the last to be awarded in 2003.

From 2008 to 2010 the symposium took place due to a comprehensive renovation of the main building and the auditorium of the University of St. Gallen. in a makeshift tent city behind the university library building.

2010 to 2021

A comprehensive redesign was carried out for the 40th symposium in 2010, which was intended to strengthen the intergenerational dialogue. The duration was shortened by half a day to two days, the group of speakers was expanded to include so-called topic leaders , who are now responsible for moderating individual events, and the selection of student participants was expanded to include the so-called knowledge pool . It is made up of 100 people who are specifically invited to the symposium by the ISC, and is intended to offer a counterpoint to the 100 winners of the strongly academic St. Gallen Wings of Excellence Award (today Global Essay Competition ). Another innovation was the Global Perspectives Barometer (now the Voices Report), an annual survey of current and former student participants on current social issues that has been carried out in collaboration with the GfK Association (until 2013 Credit Suisse ). To strengthen the symposium in Asia, an office was opened in Singapore in 2012.

In order to put the discussion on a broader basis, not only managers, politicians or scientists were invited to the 50th edition of the symposium in May 2021 (under the motto Trust Matters ). For example, the German climate activist Luisa Neubauer , the overall ski world cup winner Aleksander Aamodt Kilde and the German Jesuit Klaus Mertes , who helped to expose the abuse scandals in the Catholic Church. The around 300 young talents (“Leaders of Tomorrow”) were carefully selected by the organizing committee. With a share of 40 percent, more women were invited as speakers than ever before.

Program and event formats

Plenary session at the 41st St. Gallen Symposium with Lord Griffith of Fforestfach

The symposium takes place on two days at the beginning of May. The official program includes various types of events:

  • Plenary sessions introduce the participants to the main topic and raise controversial discussion questions in a panel format. Specifically, the plenary sessions are divided into the one-on-one , the keynote panel, and the keynote address.
  • The approximately 30 insight sessions take place in smaller groups of 25 to 35 participants and serve as a continuation of the topic of the plenary sessions. The personal framework in which the insight sessions are held is characteristic. The focus is on the discussion, which is moderated by a topic leader. To enable the most open discussion possible, the Chatham House Rule applies .
  • Interactive sessions take place parallel to the insight sessions. The focus is on the topic and less on the topic leader and speaker, as is the case with the insight sessions . In this environment, participants are encouraged to work out approaches to solving certain problems together. The number of participants is limited to a maximum of 20 participants per session.
  • Social sessions allow participants to exchange ideas between the official program in a relaxed and informal atmosphere. Examples of this are evening events, breaks or lunches.
  • The Public Insight Sessions introduce the participants to complex issues and theories. These events are thematically linked to the actual focus topic only in a broader sense. Public Insight Sessions are accessible to all interested parties, as well as students of the University of St. Gallen.

Plenary sessions will be broadcast live and subsequently made publicly available on the official St. Gallen Symposium YouTube channel. Furthermore, with the support of the Ria & Arthur Dietschweiler Foundation, the central findings of the symposium are presented and discussed within the framework of the Public Forum . This is a public event in the St. Gallen area.

The symposium divides its participants into the three groups Senior Leaders (formerly Leaders of Today ), Leaders of Tomorrow and Aspiring Leaders .

Over 600 leaders from business, politics and society are invited annually under the heading of Senior Leaders . They can be classified in the groups partners, participants, guests, speakers and topic leaders, who moderate the discussions.

Work session at the 41st St. Gallen Symposium with Richard Armstrong from the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation

The Leaders of Tomorrow encompass 200 internationally selected students under 30 years of age each year. Qualification takes place either via the Global Essay Competition (formerly St. Gallen Wings of Excellence Award) or the Knowledge Pool . The latter group of participants is specifically selected on the basis of criteria such as reference to the topic and previous achievements. With the St. Gallen Symposium, the Leaders of Tomorrow should be offered a platform where they can discuss face-to-face with today's executives and also challenge them so that new approaches and solutions can emerge.

Awards ceremonies

The St. Gallen Wings of Excellence Award is presented every year during the symposium . It is an essay competition for students from all over the world. In addition, the St. Gallen Symposium from 1979 to 2003 was the platform for the award of the Max Schmidheiny Foundation's Freedom Prize.

The Global Essay Competition

Leaders of Tomorrow at the 41st St. Gallen Symposium

The Global Essay Competition (formerly St. Gallen Wings of Excellence Award) is an essay competition for doctoral and master's students from all over the world. The authors of the 100 best submissions will be invited to St. Gallen for a week to take part in the St. Gallen Symposium. Due to the thematic overlap between the theme of the essay competition and the St. Gallen Symposium, the three best authors will have the chance to present their essay on stage during the symposium. In addition to qualifying for the St. Gallen Symposium, the competition is endowed with CHF 20,000 in prize money. With more than 1000 submissions annually from over 60 different countries, the Global Essay Competition is one of the largest student essay competitions of its kind.

The evaluation process is carried out anonymously by two different juries. The preliminary jury consists of doctoral students from the University of St. Gallen and the ETH Zurich , while the main jury consists of professors, politicians, executives and entrepreneurs. The current president of the pre-jury is Heike Bruch , the chair of the main jury is currently occupied by Georg F. von Krogh. Other members of the main jury are Peter Day, Nigel Fretwell, Heike Bruch, Marcela Escobari and Riz Khan.

The Global Essay Competition (formerly St. Gallen Wings of Excellence Award) was first held in 1989 with the aim of selecting the student participants for the symposium. The biggest change took place in 2009 when the number of invitations was reduced from 200 to 100. Since then, only doctoral and master’s students have been admitted to the competition where previously bachelor’s students could take part. The remaining 100 young participants have since been selected by the ISC with the help of the so-called knowledge pool.

Freedom Prize from the Max Schmidheiny Foundation

Between 1979 and 2003 the Max Schmidheiny Foundation awarded its Freedom Prize at the St. Gallen Symposium. Notable winners of this award include Kofi Annan , Nicolas Hayek , the International Committee of the Red Cross , Jorma Ollila and Muhammad Yunus . In 2003 the Max Schmidheiny Foundation changed its focus and decided not to award the Freedom Prize in the future.

organization

International Students' Committee (ISC)

Since its establishment in 1970, the St. Gallen Symposium has been organized by the International Students' Committee (ISC). The ISC is an independent non-profit organization which is accredited as a student association at the University of St. Gallen. Every year a team of around 30 students is put together who interrupt their studies for a year to organize the St. Gallen Symposium. The organization committee is headed by three students, each selected from the previous team. During the symposium, the ISC will also be supported by around 450 volunteers, all of them students from the University of St. Gallen.

Numerous old ISC people now occupy leading positions. The most well-known ISC alumni include, for example:

  • Steven Althaus (Former Chief Marketing Officer, Credit Suisse Group & BMW AG)
  • Martin Blessing (Former Co-President Global Wealth Management, UBS Switzerland)
  • Walter Kielholz (Chairman, Swiss Re)
  • Stephan Leithner (Member of the Executive Board, Deutsche Börse AG)
  • Christoph Loos (Chief Executive Officer, Hilti AG)
  • Mathias Imbach (Co-Founder & Chief Executive Officer Singapore, Sygnum)
  • Tim Pietsch (Chief Financial Officer, Wefox)
  • Konrad Hummler (Chairman of the Board of Directors, Private Client Bank)

The St. Gallen Foundation for International Studies represents the leading body of the International Students' Committee . It ensures the continuity of the St. Gallen Symposium, which is particularly important because of the annually changing ISC team. The foundation consists of around ten members. The current managing director is Beat Ulrich (since 2017), his predecessors were Philip Erzinger (2008–2017), Andreas Kirchschläger (1997–2008), Eugen von Keller (1995–1997), Gerard & Ursula Stoudman and Wolfgang Schürer (1975–1993) . The St. Gallen Foundation for International Studies is headed by the Board of Trustees. Its chairman is Peter Voser . Further members are Thomas Bieger , Bénédict GF Hentsch, Bettina Würth , Christian Mumenthaler , Christoph Loos, Ralph Schmitz-Dräger, Claudia Suessmuth Dyckerhoff and Ulrike Landfester . As the former President of the Board of Trustees, Josef Ackermann is Honorary President.

financing

The central element of the financing of the non-profit organization is represented by the group of sponsors founded in 1974. This group includes over 400 companies, each of which is committed to providing financial support for the St. Gallen Symposium for three years. This long-term relationship between the symposium and its sponsors serves the purpose of financial security, so that a situation like 1974, when the symposium had to be canceled, can be avoided. In return for their commitment, the members of the sponsors' group, in addition to participating in the St. Gallen Symposium, receive an invitation to the exclusive sponsor group dinner, which takes place on the Wednesday evening of the symposium.

This group includes seven main partners who support the symposium with their respective areas of expertise: ABB , Accenture , Interbrand , Hewlett-Packard Enterprise , Microsoft , Salt and Xerox . In addition, there are two main partners who focus their support exclusively on the student participants, the Leaders of Tomorrow : Credit Suisse and Swiss Re . Syngenta became the main partner of the symposium in 2021 .

The symposium benefits from a close relationship with the Max Schmidheiny Foundation , as well as with the University of St. Gallen , which makes its premises available to the symposium every year. The Ria & Arthur Dietschweiler Foundation from the St. Gallen region enables the symposium to hold the St. Gallen Symposium Public Forum. In addition, there are numerous donors who strongly support the symposium mainly through their donations in kind.
