The Global Governance Centre’s vibrant visiting programme facilitates scholarly exchange and collaboration among researchers at different career stages who have a joint interest in critical reflection on the study and practice of global governance. Each year, the Centre welcomes Visiting Fellows and Research Associates from renowned international academic and policy institutions working across a range of disciplines on pertinent issues of global significance. After their visits, they form the basis of a growing international network of scholars linked to the Graduate Institute.

In 2021, we have welcomed 14 new visiting fellows and research associates to our community! These scholars coming from disciplines such as political science, international relations, international law, anthropology and international history make a precious addition to the interdisciplinarity of our discussions on global governance. They also link the Global Governance Center to an increasing number of other scholarly and policy institutions worldwide.

Our fellows and associates play a critical role conducting independent research in Geneva, developing synergies with existing projects hosted at the Global Governance Centre, participating to the Centre's academic life, contributing commentaries on the Centre’s academic blog 'The Global’.
