AV¶ÌÊÓÆµ

IOs/NGOs

Presentation

The AV¶ÌÊÓÆµ is steeped in the international environment which is the defining trait of the city and country. For many years the university has been a respected and indispensable partner of "International Geneva". The many close ties and collaborations between the university and governmental and non-governmental international organisations (IOs/NGOs) have proven to be both invaluable assets and a distinguishing feature of our university.

Mission

At the AV¶ÌÊÓÆµ, we aim to further strengthen and intensify our partnerships and privileged ties to IOs/NGOs and have therefore adopted an active policy to provide support to, in addition to easier access to our scientific expertise.

To this end, the rectorate has set up a programme via its International Relations Office to bolster collaboration with IOs/NGOs. 

The objectives of the programme are to: 

  • Promote synergies and develop on-going collaboration between UNIGE and IOs/NGOs
  • Act as focal point to a number of International Organisations
  • Coordinate and follow-up on the various existing partnerships and projects
  • Support and encourage members of the academic community who wish to develop new forms of collaboration or further develop existing ones
  • Propose new collaboration projects and negotiate partnership agreements
  • Manage intra-curricular internships for mobility students from the AV¶ÌÊÓÆµ of California
  • Manage and update a collaboration registry
