Summer Programme on the WTO, International Trade and Development

28 June - 9 July 2009

Online applications for 2010 Summer Programme are now being accepted, apply online now!


The Graduate Institute has been a long-time neighbour of the GATT secretariat, and later WTO, in Geneva. In addition, it has also developed cutting-edge expertise on the issues and challenges inherent to trade liberalisation and regulation. In its teaching programmes, the Graduate Institute is fortunate to be able to draw on contributions from high-ranking WTO staff and a world-renowned faculty. The Summer Programme on the WTO, International Trade and Development builds upon this long tradition and offers a unique  opportunity to observe first-hand the atmosphere and analyses surrounding multilateral trade, as well as witness some of the most important international discussions on the topic.

We look forward to welcoming you to the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies from 28 June to 9 July 2010 in Geneva.
