The inauguration of the new space bringing together the Institute's research centers took place on Tuesday May 7 at petal 1, level 4.
The event marks an important step in the reform of research at the Institute committed to in 2023. As emphasized in their speeches by Marie-Laure Salles, director of the Institute, Grégoire Mallard, director of research, and Achim Wennmann, director of strategic partnerships, this spatial reconfiguration aims to produce more links between researchers are grouped together, but also to concretely encourage transthematic collaborations. Posters displayed throughout the space allowed the 200 guests to get an idea of the large number (around 80) and diversity of research projects underway at the Institute.
This event also served as the official launch for the new Centre for Digital Humanities and Multilateralism.
The creation of the Centre for Digital Humanities and Multilateralism is based on a strong conviction: that multilateralism must be able to rely on its century-old experience in Geneva to project itself with full confidence towards the future.
Founded following an original idea developed by Grégoire Mallard, Director of Research of the Geneva Graduate Institute, and Francesco Pisano, Director of the Library and Archives of the United Nations in Geneva (UNOG), the Center will build on the partnership with the Library & Archives of the United Nations in Geneva.
