ABOUT THE INSTITUTE

Who we are

Our vocation is to analyse and stimulate critical thinking in the fields of international relations and development issues.

An Enduring Legacy for Future Generations

When the Geneva Graduate Institute was first founded in 1927, British international lawyer Sir Cecil James Barrington Hurst said, “In Geneva, one can learn what one does not learn elsewhere: the meaning of contact with international realities”.

Engaging the future

Our world is increasingly uncertain and fragmented, yet we have never been so interdependent. In a context where crises with a global impact are accumulating and interacting, we need to embrace this complexity and actively shape a desirable future.
