THE GRADUATE INSTITUTE OF INTERNATIONAL AND DEVELOPMENT STUDIES
An Establishment for Research and Higher Education, Specialised in Global Affairs The Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies’ mission is to analyse the stakes of globalisation through teaching (master and doctorate), research, executive education and forum activities. Thanks to its professors and doctoral students, to the centres created with the University of Geneva and to the array of knowledge present in the Maison de la paix and International Geneva, the Graduate Institute offers a unique density of expertise. It achieves this by focusing on priority thematic areas, two of which are transversal approaches: gender and governance.
DEMOCRACY
SECURITY
TRADE AND INVESTMENT DEVELOPMENT
GENDER GOVERNANCE
HEALTH MIGRATION AND REFUGEES ENVIRONMENT
HUMAN RIGHTS
