Global South Scholar-In-Residence Programme
The Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies
The Graduate Institute is an institution of research and higher education dedicated to the cross-cutting study of international relations and development issues. It was formed in 2008 by the merger of the Graduate Institute of International Studies, Europe’s oldest institute focused on international relations (founded 1927), and the
Graduate Institute of Development Studies, one of Europe’s first institutes devoted to the study of development (founded 1961). The Institute hosts a diverse and vibrant body of students and faculty. More than 800 Master’s and PhD students from all over the world (75% of our students are international students) are currently enrolled.
The Global South Scholar-In-Residenc e Programme
This programme aims at developing an intellectual exchange between academics from Africa, Asia and Latin America and the Institute’s faculty. Three candidates per semester will be selected to spend one semester at the Institute in order to take advantage of the programme to update their teaching curricula, participate in teaching courses, further their research projects and contribute to enriching the
intellectual life of the Institute. Priority will be given to university teachers – with a preference for women and junior academics – who will seek to apply the benefits of their stay at the Institute upon returning to their own institutions.
