In 1927, the Geneva Graduate Institute was founded alongside the League of Nations to educate and equip the world’s first cohorts of international civil servants. Each year we reinforce this connection between the international organisations in Geneva and the Institute by bringing those organisations to our campus in the heart of international Geneva.

IO Career Day is our flagship annual career event for international organisations and United Nations agencies hosted at La Maison de la Paix and organised by the Institute's Career Services.

The event is exclusive to students and alumni of the Geneva Graduate Institute and the Geneva Academy of International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights.
