One of the best parts of the Geneva Summer Schools is hearing directly from the people who took part in them and seeing how the experience continues to resonate beyond the summer.

Here is what Kanika, from India, shared with us after taking part in the Science & Policy for Environmental Action 2026 summer school:

“As a proud Geneva Summer Schools 2026 alumna, I look back on the programme as a truly transformative learning experience. It offered invaluable exposure to global governance, international policymaking, and an inspiring network of peers and experts. The knowledge, perspectives, and connections I gained continue to shape my professional journey and commitment to sustainability and science–policy engagement.”

Thank you, Kanika, for taking the time to share your experience with us! We are very happy to know that the programme continues to inspire you in your professional journey.

The Science & Policy for Environmental Action summer school explores the science–policy interface and brings together participants from different backgrounds to look at how scientific knowledge can contribute to addressing complex environmental challenges.

Attending a summer school at the University of Geneva is about more than taking a short academic course.

It is also about experiencing Geneva and discovering a different side of the city once the classroom day is over.

For our participants in the 2026 SDG Summer School, this meant discovering Geneva during the cooler hours of the day, after classes had finished in the late afternoon.

We enjoyed rooftop views from the SDG Solution Space next to Campus Biotech, gathered by the lake, shared drinks as the sun went down, enjoyed fondue at the Bains des Pâquis, and created many more informal moments together along the way.

For us at the Geneva Summer Schools, the social program is not an optional extra. It is an integral part of the learning experience.

These moments allow participants to get to know one another beyond their academic backgrounds and to build connections that are often essential when working together. We see it again and again: once people have had the chance to share a meal, explore the city or simply have a conversation outside the classroom, collaborative group work becomes more natural and often more effective.

International academic exchange does not happen only through lectures and discussions. Sometimes, it starts over a drink by the lake or around a table of Swiss fondue.

Interested in joining us for a future Geneva Summer School? Our 2027 programme will open for registration in December.

A few memories from the 2026 Geneva Summer Schools at the University of Geneva. 🌍

This summer, we welcomed participants from many different countries to Geneva for several weeks of academic learning, exchange and discovery.

Through lectures, seminars, group work, discussions and field visits, participants explored different topics with professors from the University of Geneva and other universities, as well as experts from international organisations and other institutions based in Geneva.

Beyond the classroom, participants had many opportunities to exchange ideas, discover new perspectives and get to know each other.

At the end of their course, all participants leave with a Certificate of Completion from the University of Geneva, and hopefully many good memories from their time in Geneva.

Thank you to all our participants, professors, experts, partners and colleagues who contributed to this year's edition, and to everyone working behind the scenes to make the summer schools happen.

It was a busy summer, but a very rewarding one. We are already looking forward to 2027!

Geneva Summer Schools: Inside the International Geneva

During some of our programmes, participants get to immerse themselves in the world of global governance, diplomacy, and humanitarian action during a series of visits to major international institutions based in Geneva. 🌍

From visits to the United Nations Office (United Nations Geneva) and International Committee of the Red Cross Museum (Int Committee of the Red Cross) to meaningful discussions at the WHO (World Health Organization) , WTO (WTO OMC) , IOM (IOM - UN Migration) , WEF (World Economic Forum) , Gavi (Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance) , the Global Fund (The Global Fund) and StopTB Partnership (Stop TB Partnership) , they witnessed firsthand how Geneva functions as a hub for multilateral cooperation and global policy-making 🤝.

These visits not only deepened our students’ academic understanding 📚 but also broadened their real-world understanding of the international community! ✨

International Law & International Humanitarian Law

Learning goes far beyond the classroom. 🌍

Near the end of the course, participants of our International Law & International Humanitarian Law programme went to visit the ICRC Museum (Int Committee of the Red Cross ) as part of a field trip, gaining more perspective on the work of one of the world’s leading humanitarian organizations.

Through the museum’s powerful exhibitions, students explored the realities of armed conflict and the humanitarian challenges it creates, while reflecting on the fundamental principles and rules that seek to protect human life and dignity during war.

This inspiring visit brought course concepts to life, deepened their understanding of the challenges faced by humanitarian actors in conflict settings, and encouraged meaningful discussions about the role of international humanitarian law in protecting civilians and those affected by armed conflict.
