The Salon de la Sagesse is a unique association of young pioneers from all fields and worldwide, a non-profit organisation based in Vienna, Austria, founded in 2020. We are an international community of creatives and innovators, championing change by fostering interdisciplinary discussions on meaningful questions, ideas, and events.
The Salon is the mother association of the Journal d’Ambroisie and the ACMC.
Our Philosophy
An inclusive platform for those with big ambitions, our community is committed to making the world a better place. As the world changes rapidly, we believe young generations should lead the way. Our members, spanning the educational, health, financial, and cultural sectors, are driving this change. Guided by our motto, "Communitas et Incrementum Sapientiae" (Community and Growth in Wisdom), we are united in our mission.
Though our community is vastly international, the Salon’s center is in Vienna, Austria. This is where some of our socials take place, and the annual ACMC conference, organised by our daughter organisation. The Salon was inspired by the French eighteenth-century gatherings known as ‘Salons littéraires,’ its participants being connoisseurs and philosophers. They would freely discuss current topics of literary, cultural, political, and economic interest. The Salon fosters similar meaningful conversations.
In alignment with our values, our members are backed by the Chatham House Rules. This creates a haven for individuals to share uninhibited ideas, concerns, knowledge, and creative processes, knowing that what they choose to express and who they are is confidential outside of the Salon.
Our vision is to unite the pioneering minds of today and tomorrow, establishing a global community where individuals nurture ideas, connections, dreams, and acts that will make a difference in the world. We strive to create a sustainable, intellectual, and more promising future for one another and our planet through our initiatives, collaborations, and, most importantly, through our diverse network of members.
Our Values
Diversity, Inclusivity, Exclusivity.
Diversity: we welcome people from all backgrounds, regardless of age, culture, gender, or education. We believe that extraordinary talent is to be found everywhere, and we want to welcome those who wish to change the world for the better.
Inclusivity: we want to have all kinds of discussions with all sorts of people. Regardless of your field, every conversation is welcome. We like the difficult ones best, for those are usually the most important.
Exclusivity: our members are extraordinary in their visionary minds, pioneering projects, and special perspectives. We offer our members an exclusive space to freely express themselves (Chatham House Rules) and to connect to like-minded individuals. Our community is carefully curated, to include inspiring, innovative, and incredible individuals.
