This year's official programme features several members of the Institute community. Director Marie-Laure Salles will take part in both the opening and closing ceremonies. Paola Gaeta, Professor of International Law, will contribute to a discussion on the relationship between peace and justice. Sara Hellmüller, Research Professor of International Relations/Political Science and newly appointed Co-Director of the Centre on Conflict, Development and Peacebuilding (CCDP), will participate in two sessions on peace mediation. Eliza Urwin, Head of Research at the CCDP, will also contribute to a panel on humanitarian diplomacy and peace processes.

Alongside the Geneva Peace Forum, the Institute's research centres, platforms and initiatives are organising a series of events at Maison de la paix, around the common theme of Leadership for Peace. Discover them below and register to attend.

Choosing Peace is hard work. Peace is not passed on as an inheritance unfortunately. It must constantly be renewed, reimagined, sustained, and rebuilt by each generation. For a hundred years, the mission of the Geneva Graduate Institute has been to nurture Education and Leadership for peace –– to train generations of visionary, committed, courageous, and engaged leaders who believe in international cooperation for peace, justice, and sustainability. In the current context, this mission is more necessary than ever.
