Graduate Institute of Development Studies
- Graduate Institute of Development Studies
The Graduate Institute of Development Studies (GIDS, French: "Institut universitaire d’études du développement", IUED) is a graduate school in Geneva, Switzerland focusing on development studies. Created in 1961 as the Institut Africain de Genève (African Institute of Geneva), GIDS's stated goal is to promoting teaching and research concerning international development and to encourage students from Global South.
It aims to raise diverse questions (social, economic, environmental) and to strengthen links between theory and experience, reflection and action. GIDS is attached to, but independent of, the University of Geneva.
GIDS and the Graduate Institute of International Studies (HEI) are currently engaged in an integration process that will lead to the creation of a new institution at the beginning of 2008, the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies (IHEID). The new Institute will combine the fields of development and international relations and will offer a much wider choice of teaching and research activities. The existing degree programmes of each respective institution (master's and Ph.D. in development studies, master's in international affairs, master's and Ph.D. in international studies) will continue to be offered in the following years.
