"Carlo Ginzburg’s work is characterised by a remarkable combination of scholarship and interpretative imagination. This explains its unique influence not only within the academic world, but also amongst an audience that extends far beyond the boundaries of the discipline of history."
Marie-Laure Salles, Director of the Geneva Graduate Institute

On 8th October, the Institute hosted a panel discussion in honour of the late Professor Carlo Ginzburg, an outstanding historian of the twentieth century, on the occasion of the posthumous conferral of the Prix Nessim-Habif.

In the 2 October episode of our What Matters Today podcast series, Jérôme Duberry, Head of the Tech Hub, addresses some of the pressing questions facing the international community as AI develops at extraordinary speed, transforming the way we work, learn and communicate — and increasingly shaping politics, security and international relations.

But as its capabilities grow, so too do questions about its risks, its opportunities and how it should be governed.
