St. Gallen Foundation for International Studies
The St. Gallen Foundation for International Studies is an independent
foundation in St. Gallen with a focus on international projects at the interfaces between business,
politics and society. In its role as the supervisory body for the International Students’ Committee (ISC)
St. Gallen and the St. Gallen Symposium, the St. Gallen Foundation for International Studies guides
the activities of the symposium’s student organising committee, the composition of which changes every
year.
The foundation assists the ISC-Team
in its task of developing the conceptual framework and content, and also plays its part in the strategic
development of the symposium. Moreover, the Board of Trustees under the chairmanship of Dr. Josef Ackermann,
Deutsche Bank AG, supervises the deployment and efficient use of available resources.
This
combination of student responsibility and professional guidance is vital to the long-term success of
the St. Gallen Symposium.
