Global South Scholar-In-Residence Programme
The Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies
PDF
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-Residence 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.
